    It would look just fine. In daylight, the dial would be white and you'd be able to see that the hands were a dark blue. At night, the dial would have the blue glow and the hands would seem black.

    must be at the wrong site

    I thought this was watchuseek not whiteuseek. LOLJust my opinion but I am not a fan of all that white, wouldn't wear it if given to me. My first choice would be a phantom blackout aka B&R with double square dot red/black lume markers 3-6-9-12. black lume minutes and ofcourse WUS black lume in place of the U1, red sinn red under score lettering. I will do a sample and post later.

    That is exactly right...gotta stick to my guns on this one as I know BG W9 lume would look awesome at night and would have the benefit of a truly white dial in the daytime.

    Green, and BG-W9 is blue:



    Watch with BG-W9 compared to the Auto-zilla (famous for it's blue lume):



    I really don't think anyone buying a 1500-2000 USD, full-lume dial watch is going to be putting it in a tactical situation, so for this forum watch I don't think we need to be concerned about the guys downrange.

    It might have been better to set the poll up to vote for a specific luminous material rather than as it is, where people might think they are voting for a dial that looks blue or orange in sunlight.

    Re: Poll WUS U LE Dial

    Based on actual photos of bell ross phantom dial. This is pretty much what I would want the WUS edition to be. Black out dial. partial red indices. red tip second hand, small numbers 12-3-6-9, date low right in white or red additional touches would be sinn in red wus in red or blackout.
