BGW9 would probably be much sharper, and cleaner, and "pop"...
Now that Ralf has decided to offer the British Racing Green special "moray" no. 6.. I wonder how C3 will look? At night, the C3 greenish glow on the green dial will probably look better than blue lume of BGW9... but during the day C3 might clash?
I also think that we are both at somewhat of a disadvantage because not seeing the dial first hand. Bright white lume might be distracting, and not blend, and a slight, very slight tint is probably preferred. I just hope that the C3 tint is not garish and does not clash with the vintage blue seafoam.
The problem that I see with the Seiko Black Monster is that the dial includes flat black, white seconds markers, and big green lume markers. Eliminate the white seconds markers, and probably would be better. Oh well, talk about rambling.

I've pre ordered dial #4 now. I didn't think I was up for sea foam till I saw these latest shots. What I really liked was how nice the lume numbers and markers look with the black outline. Really sets it off nice against that dial color just right;)
As far as the lume color I haven't been sure what I liked best. I like the cleaner white most of the time. On the other hand I like the vintage appeal of this watch, and the c3 is brighter.
For dial 4 I'm also torn because I think bluer glow of the white lume would be awsome on this color dial. However, would the whiter lume and black outline that I like actually pop to much and be destracting from the overall look?
Sorry if my thoughts are rambling, I havn't really handled enough watches with different lume to know if my concerns are founded.
