The loupe is a great idea, at least for personal enjoyment (unless there’s a way to rig a camera to take photos through a loupe)?
And your photo of your beautiful birch GS (as well as the watch) is spectacular?
"Inside a car" is an excellent suggestion if your car has a (closed) roof with the sun directly overhead. This ensures you will have reasonably strong indirect balanced light from multiple
directions which will help show the dial's details without any direct harsh glare. Cloudy weather can also help provide balanced even light.
I've had mine for 2 years now...
