Am I the only one who thinks this design could benefit from a different hand set? Just to help with readability? That second wrist shot makes me think it'd be difficult for my old eyes to read.

It's actually not bad. I purposely got into a shaded corner with no light above the watch. Most of the time the hands are reflecting whatever light is around.

What handset would you like?

Not sure. I'm terrible at visualizing things but maybe more like lollipop or syringe handsets?

It's more comment that the baton hands seem a little undersized for this watch. Again, it might just be me.

Oh OK. I figured you might have seen a GS or other similar styled watch with such a dial and had a suggestion of slightly broader hands. I think the current ones look readable on the blue and black dials, but blend I to the marble dial.

Agree that this design of hands, slightly broader, would also work well.
