thepoet Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I am interested and really like the look of the B & R Phantom but I've seen reports that they are difficult to read. I have pretty bad eyesight and wondered how bad they are and if I should probably go with the same watch with white hands and sub dials cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobster Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Hi Buddy, I don't have the best of eye sights but it isn't bad either and I have difficulties reading that dial at times. If you looking for something legible then go for the white numerals just in case. Good luck with the choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Owned the Gen for afew months...was a pain to read and a quick glance. Got tired of having to move it in the right light to read it so traded it up for the new B&R Pro Ti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 None of the reps are accurate to the gen as the 'lume' is too light grey rather than the dark grey of the gen. If you have dodgy eyesight I would definitely say go for the white digits/hands version - after all, it is designed to look like a cockpit instrument, which is itself designed to be easy to read in all conditions and in a wartime environment It's the only one I can read from across the room while I'm in the shower lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoet Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Cheers guys, it makes sense to get the white digits and hands. I was tempted by the looks of the phantom but will take the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member X Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Cool, get some pics up when you get it! I like them a lot, one day I will own a gen, dammit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
