I think i know what you mean 😉 try to read the time on this watch when its getting dark

I've seen your post of this model before and I do admire this
Model. I even looked it up I was that enthralled. At least it tells the time half of the day which is a start like my all black. However, Unlike a lot of others. A beautiful subtle watch. Enjoy. Cheers
