I don't think it detracts from the over all looks of the watch as the beautiful patina on the earlier tritium dials is the main outstanding feature. All wondeful but the earlier the better IMO - The bezels will be a little thinner with thinner writing, the Breguet 'T' won't be crossed, and the cap will be gold (there was a transition watch between gold capped and steel crown with the T still uncrossed on the Breguet with 100m WR). The earlier ones with gold crown were 200m WR and the really early ones had numeral at 5, 15 and 25 on the minute counter.
