Very Cool Steve,Congrats!....TY for the pics...I have been wondering what it looked like in the wild as I think I'm gonna snag the same size in the pvd/stealth dial before the prices go up this summer...awesome job on the strap conversion!...ThumbsUp02.gif
how is the lume?


I see the price already went up quite a bit on this one. I bought this in February. The lume is a weak point, the hands are ok, but the dial is not good... but I didn't buy this one for the lume.

I think the reason for the poor lume is that in order to get bright lume you need to print white on the dial first, then pile the lume onto the white, and I think Italo Fontana does not like the piled on lume look, he probably prefers the smooth printing which equals poor lume. I think they should learn from BENARUS on how to apply lume on a dial.


Boy...that is the TRUTH Steve...I know for a fact that Benarus could teach a number of manufacturers how to apply high performing lume on a dial!!!thumbsup.gif
