The black numbers against the black face look amazing and I love the orange and purple tubes that allow you to read the watch in complete darkness without the need to charge with ambient light (the 12 o'clock tube is orange and all others are purple). Some people have complained about the tubes not being very bright or falling off but I haven't had that problem.

In daylight the tubes all appear white which really pops against the black face and numbers. The sapphire glass has a slight blue tint to it in the sun which adds an element of color to an otherwise discrete black out look.

Everything is great about the watch but the case scrach easy the band is thick and solid so as the dlb buckle
