insert, and C3 SuperLuminova, black, green, navy blue, red, along with
orange sandwich dials all with C3 SuperLuminova coated hands, and markers,

The only one that looks mildly ok is the black dial. Red and orange look awful

I haven't seen a Ploprof hand on a new micro in a while....for a reason.

He’s a Long Islander like me so I wish him well.
Hard pass on these, though.

Not terrible except for the mismatched hands.

Agree on the hands, although I really like sandwich dials

Thanks Tom!

Thank YOU guys just for looking ! :salute:

Honestly thought these looked very cool. Mixing both old, and new ideas
together with especially the dial, and the marker, number, hands combo ! 8-)
Even the details like knurling, overall finish, case-back, and dial colors
grab your attention. Plus we don't see sapphire bezel inserts enough, or
all of the time.

Thanks again for the honestly everyone ! :thumbsup:
