I like the pvd model, but I'm not a fan of the bracelet.

That's a lot of dial, even for 38mm.

I like the Lume, that's the best I can say about this one.

At least they designed it themselves.

Not the new ones. Pretty uninspired.

Need to see real life pics. The proportions look strange to me. Anyone know the lug width?

Looks like a jam jar lid :shrug:

Lum-Tec always seem to have a half-decent eye for design.. this looks fucking weird

I like the dial/hands/msrkers choice but the shallow endlinks are really odd. I'd like to see how this wears in person. I don't have anything to compare for such a 'large' 38mm dial.

I like it. Weird the lug holes don't like up with the endlinks.

18mm lugs. Weird.

Shitty but less so than 19mm.

I’ve tried Lum-tec a few times and did not have good luck with the brand. Just my experience, YMMV

Problems, or just didn’t like them? I’ve had a few and only had one issue that was taken care of reasonably well.
