Re: Seamaster 120: blue, silver or white dial?

None have black hands.

All are legible. Remember, silver hands can reflect light--ensuring decent readability. Heck, I have an Omega De Ville with steel case, silver sial and silver hands. Naturally, a fine brand like Omeg ais smart enought to use texture and beveled reflectivity to ensure that the time is still legible even when the entire watch is basically the same color.

On a more practical note, if you ever want to change the watch to a strap or even buy it on a strap: the white and silver dial versions can be worn on a variety of color straps. The white especially looks great with ANY possible color of strap. The blue looks great with a blue strap--but you are much more limited on other stap color options with it.

White and silver are also the dressiest colors making the watch highly usable as a dress watch. The blue is more casual and might be slightly less appropriate in dressy situation--but will shine in casual situations!

But I also like the blue dial because it is DIFFERENT from the stuff that everybody else wears. I get REALLY TIRED of 95% of men's jewelry being nothing more than gold, silver, black, and white!
