I no longer have any skin in this game but if you are looking for inspiration concerning seconds hand colours, it may be worth looking at the Explorer II 16750. White dial, markers and hands outlined in black, red GMT accent - and a black seconds hand.
I realise the watch is different, but I think Rolex know a thing or two about long-lasting design.
Interesting observation. I do wonder what CW would have come up with as the design if given the following mandate:
“As an FLE the forum members have decided that they would like a white dial, two tone ceramic bezel Trident GMT with a splash of red. Please design one!”
Adrian B knows how to design a decent looking watch - it’s his job!
It is great to see the enthusiasm shown by members, with all the various very slightly different versions of a white dial GMT, with each having its own advocates. However the problem maybe that having given people a vote, everyone has their own view on what is best. Sometimes views become entrenched, even if an expert (Adrian B) puts forward their recommendation of what is best.
The end result is then a muddle in which insufficient numbers back any version and everyone goes around in circles. With reflection folk may even come to the conclusion that it was a mistake even voting on it and AB’s design was the best all along.
