·For those who own both, or have: would you say that, in person, and onthe wrist, the hands visibility on both of these are roughly equivalent? Thanks.

·I can offer you a 300 Trilogy vs the Speedy comparison:

·Thanks. Any issues seeing the time in certain light conditions or angles?
Something to keep in mind is that the trilogy hand sets are totally flat and the Heritage handsets have two facets. Feel like with the Heritage the hands pretty much never turn "black" entirely but with the steel flat handsets, they can. That said, it's just a minor turn of the wrist to make the hands reflect light again so I don't think that impacts legibility.
Edit: see @eugeneandresson 's correction several posts below

·I don’t own either, but they’re beautiful looking watches. The Trilogy Railmaster too.

Excellent point. Thanks.

Here’s what you will see on the 300 in very low light - the hands remain highly visible.

·Its one of the little things they should have done with the FOIS (and it was always one of my gripes with the old FOIS)...
I definitely made an assumption regarding the Speedmaster 57. Can anyone confirm if the seamaster Trilogy has rounded or flat hands? @YY77 ?

·Thanks. It's interesting to me that they would be rounded on the Trilogy Speedmaster but not on the seamaster.
