 I also just received a Marcello C Nettuno GMT. The fit and finish is excellent on mine. The dial in particular is deep, deep, black. The crown works smoothly as does everything else on the watch. It reminds me of my old Rolex GMT Master II in terms of size and general quality. The exhibition back shows off a very nicely decorated movement. It is a step up from the standard Nettuno and it has a little more detail in the finishing.

The cyclops could magnify more and the lumn is just average. It glows very bright at first and then fades to a soft glow for the next 4-5 hours. I can read the time, but I agree they could and should do better on this point. Watchboy (where is he these days) and I once talked about how the Swiss just don't seem to do a great job with lumn.

The only watch I have that is Swiss with truly good lumn is my Corum Romulus. It glows way better than I ever thought it would. Its nice.
