 Man this is one hunk of steal….. It screams look-at-me look-at-me, I need attention…. (Kidding ) . That said, got the watch today, of course the screws on the SS bracelet are smaller then my other dive watches so I had to go to a watch shop to have them size it…. I have not had it on long enough to really comment; noticed several people (guys) in the mall while eating dinner with my daughter staring at it. So I will just share a few photos for now.

One additional comment, the lume on this thing is Da bomb.... Mine says it was made Nov 2007 on the case back, also in the manual it says it uses "MaraGlo" long glowing non-nuclear hour and hand markers; has anyone ever heard of this, is this the same as Superluminova C3 Luminous... tks and enjoy….. John

 Great Pixs of your new JSAR.  It's awesome looking with the bracelet.  I found this maybe it will help.

Maraglo is a specially treated and specially applied version of Luminova - a specially formulated photphosphor (light excites its molecules to emit photons, ie. light, instead of radioactive particles). It is generally regarded as the best of the non-tritium materials in terms of its combined brightness and the persistence of its luminosity after light exposure. Most people cite the figure "10 times as bright" when comparing Luminova to conventional phosphors. In fact when you consider brightness after several hours it is even better than that, and Maraglo is superior to regular Luminova. It's advantages compared with tritium are:

it should (if protected from, excessive heat, UV light and water) have a longer useful life than tritium systems;

it is non-radioactive, and, therefore can be used in more environments, and without any fear of radiation exposure (although tritium is also generally regarded as safe if kept in the watch),and,

for a time just after it is recharged by exposure to light, it is brighter than even tritium gas vials (this superior brightness, however, is lost after something like an hour or two (depending on a lot of factors).
