Re: Anyone care to comment on the silver AT legibi
In Response To: Anyone care to comment on the silver AT legibility *NM* ()

I can't remember if I posted it here or on another Omega Forum, but I have to say that any watch with a silver dial will always be tricky to read in certain lighting conditions. I had a silver-dialed Tag Heuer 2000 Exclusive and I was trying to read the time on it one morning in semi-darkness and it was near impossible. In dim light, the hands tend to blend in with the color of the dial.
Here's a simple test; go to a watch store, find any watch with a silver dial and then take a few steps back from it (say, ten feet) and notice if you can still read the time easily.
I love the look of a silver dial and I think that the AT silver dial is a slick looking watch. It looks like Robocop in his next life. It's a great daytime watch, but I think that legibility suffers a little in low light.
Just my 2c.
