 Very cool that Ralf authorized a poll... clearly, my preference is BGW9 for both seafoam dial, and british racing green... I have pre-ordered the seafoam, but have not yet placed my second order for british racing green, because I am waiting for confirmation re the lume color. 

I just took out my Boschett Cave Dweller which has a white lume and compared it to my Seiko Black Monster that has a very greenish C3 color.  The Cave Dweller is, in my opinion, much nicer and more classic than the Seiko.  The indices / markers jump off the dial when they are bright white.  I like the Seiko, but compared to the Cave Dweller, there's no comparison... Cave Dweller is classic.

Conclusion -- BGW9.  and according to the lume chart, it is only slightly inferior to C3.  I look at my watch all day long, only once or twice at night.  So for me, the day time view is more important.
