I didn't think of that, but looking at the pics and videos of the white dial again, I see what you mean about the white on white. But in my humble opinion, I think when this in on your wrist in real life, the hands will be plenty noticeable. (btw, I missed out on that Aragon Divemaster II in Piano Black on Amazon for $106, it's back to $133, I guess I waited too long!)
