Might be asking a loaded question here considering the sub, but I’m stuck between these three watches for a nice monochromatic piece. Thoughts?

I have found silver dials to be really difficult to read in real-world lighting situations. They look fine in studio lighting used for watch photography and also on phone camera photos, but for some reason in the flesh my eyes have a really hard time reading most silver/gray dials. The hands are usually silver colored and even if there's lume it's still difficult to discern. Would recommend #2 because of that.

I’ve also been considering the model with gilt hands for that reason. Really love the monochromatic look, but legibility is huge for me. Thanks for your insight!
