Now more about the watch.....The lume is as I expected .... no credit to mention as like most Swiss watch companies(watches below $1k...)
. Don't expect the lume of SEIKOs. I just DO NOT understand why these Swiss companies cannot even pay a little more for a better lume paint/application which is so cheap in cost?!
Besides the lume, everything about the watch is SWEET!!! The size is 45mm w/o crown. It does not wear that big like many Seiko as the crown is at 4 o'clock.
Thickness is 16mm as I had measured. The sapphire crystal is slightly curved. The markings all are trimmed which you don't find in many watches these days. The hands are nice too which you don't see many like that and also the minute hand is red-trimmed. If you noticed close the second hand's tip is RED too! The bracelet clasp and crown are signed. Crown is screwed down and so is the case back(non see-thru but with some logo). Bracelet is like Omega Seamaster's style, so something different from your common oyster, jubilee and president styled bracelet. Overall the watch is hefty and the wear is nice for any wrist 6.5" and above(mine is 6 7/8"). My guess of the movt is SWISS ETA 2824-2 though no stated in the description(you can ask the customer service of ZODIAC watches at the link in my first post). Dial is slighlty darker yellow than the YELLOW monster and with SWISS MADE written on it & so is the case back. Last but not least, for the price below $500, you get a renowned brand, SWISS MADE with SWISS AUTO Movt!!! What can I say??? All the good points simply outweigh the one & only bad point(its lume)!!! I would highly recommend this watch to all!!!
(5 thumbs up!!!!)
