Just picked this beauty up (ok, a buddy of mine picked it up for me) from the Deep Blue Watch Co. or linked thru Panatime. This is a very, very nice watch! She's a biggen too! Easily can be worn with jeans or going casual (polo w/sports jacket & dress/kaki pants).
Each watch comes with a year warranty and is individually numbered on the case back. They only make 1000 copies, once their gone their gone! Grab one while you can!! You will not be disappointed!

Now for the lume shots:

This first pic was taken 15 min after being outside for 5 min while I was taking pics. I noticed the lume will fade a little more then this but is still very legible after 4 hours!!

After a 10 second charge from a 2.5 million candle watt flash light you can see it is amazing!!

Thanks for posting these pics.

I held one of these bruisers at a GTG. It's a heck of a value, IMO. Too big for my spindly wrist, though.

It's fairly common to see prices of $450-$550 and up for the "boutique" watches like this one (Miyota movement), and more for the eta movement, of course. Some won't even be 1000M.

You know, I may have just talked myself into getting one! :cool2:

Well Tommy, it's really nice to get a good quality watch without breaking the bank. The dimensions might seem big, but it does not wear much bigger then my Omega SMP. IMO

Looks a lot like the orange version of one of my favorite (and by far most worn) watch:

And even more like his older brother:

But at about the same price, I'd say you found a very nice watch.
