I owned the reverse panda version but sold it way back in 2018. My biggest issue was that the metal hands disappeared into the dial and I could not read the time. I sourced some broad arrow hands and had them put on. It addressed the issue. Interestingly, the issue with the metal hands disappearing into the dial prevented me from picking up the new Speedy Reverse Panda that just came out and I instead am waiting on a 50th Anniversary Enamel Dial to be delivered tomorrow. Great watch - just so very hard to read the time. Which has become a deal breaker for me.

Exact same issue I had with my blue MK40, so I traded it for another watch.

Yes, the thin polished arrows in white metals can be almost invisible both against white and black dials, depending on light's condition. That's why looking for the "racing" speed master I opted to this gem. It is not exactly from "the Legend" collection, but from the racing family. And the legibility is really outstanding thanks to the matt white arrows from the "Moonwatch"-sibling.

Good choice. Nice reference. BTW just got my 50th... Really happy with it. No problem with legibility.
