I went back to the original design files and reprocessed/rerendered the background watchface to enhance the clarity of the text, symbols and other features. I also tried to follow @GAUSS 's advice by attempting to create a set of more realistic hands.
Some detail shots …
I would love to know what you think - especially re the hands.
Cheers

Looks far better and realistic - nice job!!
Thanks for that and thanks for the advice! I still have a great deal to learn and it always helps to get pointers.
It was already a great design but you’ve done a good job refining it. Nice one!
Thank you dubblebee, that is very kind of you. Of course I can’t stop tweaking 
I decided that, whilst I like the new hands and I think they suit a dress watch, it would be better if the hands were larger to better align with the Dive Watch theme - that is, easy to see in the depths with water dripping down your mask and a big shark coming up behind you
versus …
What do you think?
Yes I agree. The larger hands suit the theme better.
Thank you for the feedback - I find that I am sometimes too close to what I am doing to be able to see with dispationate eyes so I greatly appreciate the views of those who see with fresh eyes.
Cheers
Mike
