 A NOS (New Old Stock) Luminox 3207 watch arrived Saturday. I owned one for some time about five years ago. Sold it, then missed it. So, I found this blue dial version on ebay brand spanking new in a Luminox box. It came on a black leather strap, but I switched to a nicer brown Hirsch strap.

The watch features a 10-year Lithium battery, sapphire crystal, 4-jewel, a radiant blue dial, Swiss quartz movement, screw-in case back, screw-down crown, uni-directional bezel, and a stainless steel case. Markers and Hands are gas vials with excellent brightness in total darkness.

If you look at the inner ring around the dial, you'll notice it is polished. Almost mirror-like. This is the only Luminox model I can recall that has this feature. What it does is reflect some of the traser-light back onto the dial making the gas vials seem brighter.

So, I now have three Traser, three Luminox, and one Graf Zeppelin watch with gas tubes. I'm in glow-worm heaven! :D
