New 5205g-013 blue dial

Has anyone actually seen, in person, this new 5205 yet? I've seen the website renditions, but wonder how real-to-life they actually are? Case in point: I was very interested in the 5205g-010, until I actually tried one on (that's the one with the darker two-tone grey/blackish dial). I loved the watch, but at my age, could not distinguish the hands or hour markers, as they seemed to blend in with the dial. If that's the case with the new blue dial, I'll have to pass. But if the hands and hour markers really stand out, better than with the two grey models, as seen in the professionally advertised renditions, then I'm in. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The hands have lume on this new version and just having that little white stripe of lume makes the watch legible. That was my experience with the 5905, I had a 5205 RG black dial and without the lumed hands it was impossible to tell the time in some light conditions.
