It's more than legible enough for me. I wear it as a "work watch" with a suit and I can always tell the time in office lighting.
If I'm going somewhere dark (e.g. a cinema) I'll wear another more luminova-clad watch such as a Seamaster Pro with sword hands :-)
To be honest, I think the silver dial ATs may not be as difficult to read as people think. While the hands are polished, the dial is not, and this contrast means that the hands show up just fine. To give another example, I saw the new "Spitfire" dial IWC pilot watches recently in both black dial and silver dial versions. The black dial watches were very difficult to read because both hands and dial were polished. The silver dial ones, in contrast, were, WOW, amazing!
