Bonus for luminous hands.

I like the casualness and interest that luminous hands add, one of the reasons why I prefer the L1 Moonphase over the L1 regular model (and the Datograph over the 1815 chrono...there are other reasons to like the dato, of course). It's not the lumen per s... 

They add interest, and are more readable. It's not the luminous material per se. It's the filament within the hands. One reason I much prefer the original Saxonia over the current iteration. Those watches had much more character. Compare the first two wit...  

Certainly for a blue or black dial, where full metal hands are going to disappear into the dial due to the reflections, that filament of lume greatly helps readability. On a white / silver dial, it's more debatable.

I’ve always loved this reference and the Red Gold version of this Wempe edition was in my opinion a really beautiful execution. I was ready to sell other pieces if I could have gotten this.

I wonder when they will do a black dial Up and Down? That would look fantastic (even without a panda/reverse panda effect).
