Daytona lume redesign

looking at the Daytona dial, i had always considered the lumes to be too prominent and as such too busy.

to me this version i photoshopped is far more appealing:

I disagree. The lume on modern Daytonas is nearly worthless IMO. Maybe my opinion is colored by my love for the Sub and GMT but lume legibility is not a strong suit for the Daytona.

Looks unbalanced.

The Daytona dial isn't for everyone. The black dial gets a lot of complaints over legibility in various lighting conditions.

I honestly don't think the lume matters on the Daytona.
