OK, so I’ve had my Daytona around 18 months now and although I love the looks and feel of it I just cannot get around the fact I cannot tell the time without spending a few seconds twisting my wrist and staring at the dial.

There is clearly some issue with the silver hands merging into the sub dials. I don’t have this issue with any of my other watches, a mix of chrono and 3 handers, black dial and white dial.

I did think maybe it was the white dial exacerbating the issue but after a quick search on TRF it appears the black dial is even worse for this phenomena. My black dial Tag Carrera is easy to read in most lighting conditions and it only takes a second to see the time so why is it such an issue with the Daytona?

I have been contemplating buying a second set of hands and having them either painted or PVD’d in black, do you think this would help? Has anyone else gone down this route?

Your thoughts are welcome
