Black is Beautiful: a newbie post

YAHOOO! Just got my blk/blk ss Seamaster on strap. Although I own the blue faced Ti. version, the new one makes me lightheaded like no other sport watch has ever done. Damon has a great review on the watch, but I have some comments I would like to share.
The legibility of the blk face is astonishing. Yes, I know that the blue face "looks" dark to the eye, but to my eye it provides no where near the contrast of a black face. The hands are all the more visible, especially the red tip on the sec. hand. I love the "blacked out" date window, the date really pops. Later I want to post why this watch fits all my criteria for a solid sport watch, but in the meantime I have a question..I cant wear this timepiece to work everyday, when I dont,is weraing it at night enough to keep things healthy?
