Hey 3T - Hope you don't mind, but I wanted to post a few pics of my Steinhart. I tried to get some lume shots, but this watch doesn't have such great lume... Other then the crappy lume, the watch is great. Sits pretty big on my wrist @47mm. Seems even bigger with the steering wheel...I mean crown. Anyway, hope you enjoy. I tried to capture that the plates are a different color (gray, actually) then the rest of the movement. Unfortunately, with the lighting it's very difficult. It's really a beauty. They did a fine job. |

Big Congrats, Tenbosh. I saw this on your DWC post and this has been on my radar for a few months now. I'm surprised the lume is weak because I think this uses C3 Superluminova like my Steinhart NavB...and the lume on that one is excellent. One matter stopping me from getting this one is the 30m water-resist rating and although it's just fine for daily use at the office, somehow I would have preferred something more superior like 100m.... It's a beautiful watch, however, and is still on my radar. I'd use a nice croc pattern leather strap for this one though. Enjoy it in good health. |

I have the same watch and it looks fantastic on your wrist. I put a black crock strap on mine and it looks very rich. The lume on the watch is superluminova but....it is the black lume. Gunter used the black lume to have a sharp contrast on the dial during the day. It will not match the Nav B but it is ok. Do not wait on this watch. It is a limited edition and they are going fast. Enjoy! (nice pics too!!!) |

this is a awesome Flieger and great pics!...Congrats!....the black lume is a nice touch but it doesn't have the lume as the other superluminova colors have....unless applied very thick it just doesn't glow....hopefully it is being perfected so that it will match C-3 someday cuz' it really does have a nice contrast ...especially on this silver dial! |

Beautifull model! Did you try to load the lume with UV light or "black light" ? That's what I used lately and the lume just pop out like crazy after a short exposure on any watch.fart.gif |
