Might be the photos. From my experience, the GS hands catch the light in a way that makes their watches very legible. Just really well executed polishing, I guess.
Yeah the photos are kind of blown out. The dial is a slightly sandier colour than that IRL and the polished hands will pop off it, but as with GS generally, the reflections are quite eye-catching and would never be as legible at a glance as something with a matte dial and painted hands.
Best looking SBGV245 I’ve seen in a while, if anyone was looking out for one:
