Original dial in Blue... Updated dial, way more legible with alternate months. Just got mine back from the spa. will post pics upon my return to paradise. ...
Filled in one and skeletonized in the other? You can have them change the hands? I actually prefer the fully lumed hands as it’s too hard to tell the time on those skeleton hands. You need to know the time more often than the date.
