I have been enjoying my Benarus Barracuda and finally, my SNOON arrived via FedEX today!woohoo.gif It is everything I had hoped it would be in terms of quality and build. It is a little slimmer than I would have expected; however, it is powered by a Swiss Rhonda Quartz Movement so that maybe how it can achieve such a thin dimension. I am extremely happy with the PVD black color...it is truely a flat black....no grey here!! This puppy really glows! It utilizes H3 Tritiumlight Tubes / mb microtec illumination that is made in switzerland. It is the first watch that I have seen that combines Tritiumlight Tubes with super luminova on the dial and hands. The combination really makes for a good show at night!! It really goes beyond the Traser Automatic Pro Blue that I once owned...IMO it is a nicer fit, size and the lume is simply better! Here are the specs:
