Some things that can help:
Place it in a room so that there is something else than just a 
sky_sphere or some gradient to reflect.
I've seen some, and the cylinder is very highly polished, highly 
reflective. Normaly, high grade stainless steel.
The screw looks OK.
The "handle" of those I saw was somewhat yellower or a little brownish. 
Maybe lower the brillance.
There should be a group of graduations beside the scale. 11 of them in 
the space of 2 lines on the outer scale. It's used to get one more 
decimal place in the mesure.
The "C" part should be a little less black. Maybe a 5 to 8% gray would 
be better.
