Because I was looking at it everyday trying to figure out where to get the money to buy it, I watched the price increase a few dollars each day due to the exchange rate (as shown on xe.com). Finally, after a week I just pulled the trigger before it got any higher.
I don't regret it. Of all my watches, my wife likes this one the best--especially the leather strap. It's dressy enough to wear with nice clothes and informal enough to wear to work in an oxford and Carhartts.
I did a quick search and found this lume shot on the web. It doesn't shine as long as the say the Seiko OM but it will last through a movie. The lines of lume are thin so at times it is hard to see until your eyes adjust.
The hand winding is really smooth as well.
The best thing I like about it is the clean dial. It's so large and easy to read.
I like the peep hole but personally would have liked a full exhibition caseback.
Overall, one of my favorite watches.
