Coming back to this thread having recently acquired the white lacquer dial Speedy. One of my initial impressions (and I have not handled other light dial Speedy's in person) is that I really like the contrast between the hands and markers against the dial. To me it captures of one of the hallmarks of he classic moonwatch being high contrast for easy legibility. It's like a film negative of the original that gives a pleasing sensations on the eyes. And my eyes are crap so maybe I need the contrast more than others.
