Take your pick. See what you think. I think the glossy finish of the dial and the lack of a brightly coloured sweep second hand has something to answer for.

^^^ I know the legibility with these depends to some extent on the angle. Just looking at your picture, I think I would find the T2 the most legible; the T3’s do have a bright feature in the seconds and GMT hands; and I just find the skeleton completely confusing. At the end of the day, I have always said that I like contrast, and none of these quite has it, at least not enough for me.

I am personally ok with the legibility of my SH21 Abyss, it's really not that terrible. I'm not saying it's great either, I do sometimes need to tilt my wrist to get a better angle, which takes about half of second more. But the same can be said about my C1 Moonphase, and I won't even start about my Mr. Jones watches. So overall, it is a small compromise, but far from being a deal braker for me.
