White Sand Dial readability

Post by ex_nihilo »

Greetings,
Does anyone find the White Sand dial of the Dune / Aquitaine a challenge to read?

Thanks!

I think the dial is easily readable but the C65 Aquitaine does seem to wear smaller compared to its C65 counterparts

I think metallic hands can be an issue. They can get lost at particular angles.

You often see pictures of chronographs with hard to read hands, especially ones with panda dials.
