Daytona hands and old eyes
I have a SS Daytona with black dial and SS hands.
I guess my eyes are just old. I can barely see the sub dial hands and the large hands sometimes are hard to see too. Is it possible to switch the sub dial hands to white luminous and get larger white luminous main hands? |

Thats a weird request. Maybe you need to again watches to something easier to see. You should check out the PAMs. Very easy to read dial

You are not alone. I noticed the same thing with my 74 yr old eyes on my new black dial Daytona. But I've also heard that the white dial is no easier to read. I hope it just a matter of getting used to how to hold it so that the light highlights the hands...

You can install red sub dial hands and red second hand.

Glasses. They will allow you to read any watch you want.

Seems to be a common complaint for those with experienced eyes, recently.

Any updates, my Daytona is at 53 hard to read at a glance.

Yes it is an easy fix. Get a speedy pro.
And eventually a move to panerai may be in order.

I added a Yachtmaster for this very issue.

Had Black, then a white, then a slate, looks like I have to back to white. Thanks
Any thought on cost, source for a red second hand? |

I find it hard to read as well. I'm upgrading to the new Flavor Flav clock. My AD says I'm 3rd on the list.
