I think a watch maker should show as much pride in the product from the start and do it right from the start at the best possible price. The watch should then go over better and sell faster with more customers wanting one.
About the only times I am really willing to pay more for is for Special Editions, Limited Editions and such. And those to me should always be made with the best products available. The lume, crystal and all other materials.
I agree 100%. Why any maker would go to the trouble to produce an otherwise beautiful watch and then skimp on the lume is beyond me.
For what it's worth, the lume on my Zilla and another Citizens diver is every bit as good as that of my Monster. Just as bright initially and lasts as long or longer than the Monster.
I'd like to defend the gas tubes too. When all my lume watches have given up the ghost, my Tritium tubes are still buring brightly. I also have Tritium night sights on my carry pistol and it too just keeps on glowing. I like the stuff.
