    If pressed, the black one, for better legibility in low light conditions. (No Indiglo, so at least there are those white markers, I doubt they're lumed, though). Have you seen the white and orange versions?

    I'm glad to hear you're getting good use out of the Citizen! If you need to save money, I might be able to send over one of these extra Timexeses here...
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.
