I have the older model full lume dial and hands. Spectacularly beautiful watch. But, at 3:30 am dark-thirty and the lume is faded low, it is really difficult to differentiate the hands from the dial. There needs to be better contrast. If you stare at the dial for a few good seconds, you can see the hands. But at a glance in the dark, you got no chance of differentiateing the hands from the dial. The fix would be to black out the hands for much better contrast. Yes, I wear my watches 24/7.
Hi, Thank you for watching. Yes, the rotors in the Miyota/Citizen automatic movements usually spin very fast and are noisy. It is normal. Enjoy the watch.

Full lume dials are a con - look great for 1 hour, invisible after 2 hours as the hands merge into the dial
Thanks !
I recently bought fugu but my watch rotor makes too much noise when I simply turn my hand. The rotor is noisy. Is it normal?

Thanks for your reply
The 8000 movement has to do a full revolution to power the watch. it can't go backwards so that's why it feels weird or is noisy.
