Close your eyes … now open them quickly … what time is it

It’s even worse when the hour hand and minute hand are above the sub dials …

When the Snoopy first came out, I thought I had to have it but wasn't easy. Since then I ended up with EW321 which I feel I made the right choice. I didn't think about the legibility which is one of my watch choice criteria. I had a CK2998 and let it go for the exact same reason - legibility ot lack of. When the hour and min hands are over the subdials, it is hard to read.

Snoopy is a cute watch but the 321 is way better. 321 Movement vs normal movement same as the regular speedmasters.

best metal bracelet vs cheap straps.

Open caseback to view the gorgeous movement vs closed.

I agree with you on legibility as an important criteria. I recently swapped out the polished hands of a new FOiS to a 321 hands set for that exact reason.
