My last idea I think is a balance in keeping with Ralf's nice balance, but a slight shift in the lume color in upper and lower two "teeth" to help with low light orientation. Should we rename the watch "Nasferatu"?

This one has a cool look .... may be the only tint should be at 12. Jim moresnowdays wrote: These last two tried to be suttle using lume colors from the chart in a previous post.

It's not easy seeing the variation in color on my screen, but I would think it would be more significant in the dark.

How about ORANGE LUME DIAL (not quite as rosey) w/ white TEETH ? moresnowdays wrote: Looking at the version with red markers, it might look really neat at night with the white face being in full lume and the markers in a red lume on the black band in the outer perimeter of the dial. A more "3D" look perhaps.

I really like the clean/simple design the best. It would be cool to incorporate a different color lume at 12 that is only visible at night, if possible. This is going to be a very cool watch/cool10.gif

I wonder how it would look if the 12 hour mark was split in two, a bit like the Seiko Monster. This way you would keep the tooth look and make the 12h easy to locate. Just a taught. ;)

I think it would look like he was trying to rip off the Seiko 12 hour marker. :)

I still think 12 is easy to find without drawing special attention to it. Even in the dark, especially with the size of these markers. The Megalodon doesn't need to be your "tactical recon" watch, there are other watches that can fit that nitch in your collection, my Marathon GSAR does it for me.

Not sure to what extent I can agree here. I would agree that using C3 lume with these large marker there would likely be enough twilight from street lights or even moon light to orient the watch fine. However, if the watch was to be considered a functional diver, as Benarus describes on the "About Benarus" page of the website, something has to change. In complete darkness of deep water there is nothing that would help orient the watch and make it useable. On the other hand, if it is not meant to be used in those conditions, it looks great.

Actually these markers are already almost identical to the 12h mark on the Seiko. Well, i don't know anymore  Anyway, there is still an other dial coming, so...

Are those of us looking for some spatial orientation of the dial in the dark all wet? Couldn't there be some small thing done to the 12 o'clock marker? How about making the 'BENARUS' lumed? Or put an 'M' in the 12 o'clock marker? Or something?
