You certainly don't see them... Congrats!

Is it an SF? Nice Simona too.

Correct SF. They made them briefly.

Love my Simona straps. I cherish all of them.

So it has the plexi... Very cool.

Just curious if you might have considered asking Belkin to make a dial for it with the lume filled indices rather than sandwich? Not saying it 'needs' it but it would be even more special IMO. Having said that, front loaders can be a bit of a PITA to mess with.

Enjoy!

Pretty sure gen is sandwich so I'd like to keep it as true to gen

Actually I may be wrong. Is gen lume filled and not sandwich?

Correct - the gen is not a sandwich dial. The 662 & 663 were designed as 'homages' to the 6152 variants that developed a brown hue to their originally black dials. This was caused by sun exposure and the effects of the radium.
