                It’s got to feel so good to floor this humble seeming gent with that information.

                    @68degreesorless only two at the moment (plus a few King Quartz from the 70s when the King Seiko name was not used).

                    A vintage 449990 from the early 60s and the SJE083 (re-issue from 2020).

                      That one is so nice.

                      This one is related, but not the same type of emotions involved...

                              The black/black seamaster is a favourite of mine, very well executed. One of these watches that is difficult to photograph and looks better in person. 👍

                              There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                      @Anesthetist I know, but there are a lot of twilight scenarios (no, not the greasy vampire ones) where the lume does not kick in enough to make a black / black or black / grey watch readable.

                                      My Seiko Shikamaru is a nightmare, even though I expect Omega to use a better lume on a 10 to 15x as expensive watch.

                                      On the toppic of the Seamaster PO, that thing realy is a beauty. It wasn't the most reasonable decision to buy that beast, but I will certainly not regret it. 🙂

                                        I could live with the black / black seamaster quite happily even with a compromised legibility point of view.

                                        I really like how they have made the wave textured dial shine on the raised facets.

                                        A very interesting watch. It is one I have been debating over for a while to add to the collection.

                                        Without owning one it would be difficult to comment further on the 24hr legibility of the piece.

                                        There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                          I am also a huge fan of the all black Matt ceramic Bulgari Octo Finissimo. Another watch where the legibility could be seen as compromised.

                                          That particular finissimo has highly hands and hour markers to make the dial both subtle and readable.

                                          Maybe I just have a thing for black black watches. Luckily these watches would not be a sole piece in the collection.
