Re: What's your Preference, Light or Dark Faces?

In Response To: Re: What's your Preference, Light or Dark Faces? ()

My rule of thumb is; Sports watches-Dark dials, dress waatches-light dials. Of course, I blew that theory out of the water a few weeks ago when I picked up my black-dialled AT Co-Axial.
Although I think that white or silver dials make a great watch for daytime use, I have found that in low light conditions, the hands can blend in with the color of the dial. This is especially true of silver dials where the steel hands disappear in low light.
But as you say, Michael, it is entirely a personal preference.
