Depends on the watch. My Ed White has a mismatch with a darker chrono hand and I love it. Many early Bond SMPs have a big mismatch with egg yolk plots and green hands and I don't.

Some manufacturers purposely used different color lume on hands and dial to aid visibility. Rolex famously used a different color on the 6 o’clock marker on early dive watches. So it all depends on the intention.

Put away your DSLR and macro lens, take photos with this -- on FP4 film.

Then your heart will be at rest.
