I love Luminox watches. This is my latest one. Stainless steel Blackout.
It's heavy, but I really like it. The band is from one of my other Luminox watches. It's pretty comfortable.

yesterday, my birthday!

Nice. Happy Birthday!
Thank you for your insight.
I have 2 watches only, imagine that!
On my Skagen 809 the super special stap is broken, again, and on my Traser P5900 the clockwork is kaput, again.
(And I’ve mad ne straps for that one already as the faux leather part gave up).
Got that one for $108, the cheapest watch with tritium markers at that time.
I just love that detail but atm it’s more like $180, minimum.
So I liked the look of that darkened steel band but I have no clue how durable that is.
Oh, another fact, I have rather girlish hands, that 38mm Traser was perfect for me, this Carnival says 39mm.
Not so easy to find watches smaller than an old USSR allarm clock these days.
Everything must be huge, the watches, the “phones”, the cars.
I prefer my Sony XZ1compact and a seperate mp3 player, I’d love my Mazda Miata back (not so good with kids) and I want a smallish watch.
Sorry for the rant
Adahn if you’re looking for a field or flieger style watch San Martin’s are fantastic. They have Seiko-level or better lume on all their models and offer their flieger in quartz or an automatic NH35.
Happy Birthday wle, very nice gift there, wear in good health.
Adahn, maybe not your style(dont know) But for excellent value, tough as old boots, check the russian watches out called vostok. Lots of different ones, but $50 or so gets you a new automatic. They can go to several 100 bucks, some chronos etc. But bang for buck, little different, worth a look.
Seiko auto day today
Bit of dog walking to get the seiko wound

Very nice!
Does anyone here have experience with the dual-time/GMT Vostoks? They are super cheap for an automatic with GMT complication (and are actually depth rated unlike Parnis/Corguet).
I dont, but i will be adding a vostok to my little family at some point. There are some really nice watches, bang for buck though………hard to beat. There is a little history there to, they moved in the 2nd WW and still produce from their plant. Yes proper rated, own auto movement which they supply other manufacturers with. They make for the russian military, so will be tough n doubt.
Depending on budget as they can shoot up some, some of the chrono’s are very smart. But your starting to go to and past the $300 mark. No doubt your getting a lot more for your money still.

New in just now, JDM 5610. These squares seem so tiny! Use to the 56(king) so this feels small, will take a little getting use to.
I saw GMTs going for <$100 USD on Meroma, that’s why I was wondering if it’s actually just a slaved 24hr hand vs independent GMT. Don’t fully trust the translation in the product descriptions
Afaik Vostok are automatics. There are dedicated threads over on the watch forum for these pieces on watchuseek. Might be worth a bit of reading up, also on Vostok mods. They are reputable , nothing I would say dodgy with the brand. Sellers however is another matter , buy the seller is a well known term.
Meroma is a legit dealer for them. After a bit of sleuthing they are just 24hr hands that match the main hour hand, but the 24hr bezel allows for the same use. Now to decide on which one I want…
Look forward to your decision, I will be joining you in the world of Vostok soon enough. I need to decide which I want 1st. Not easy………
So when are we making the 800 lumen BLF watch with aux LEDs?
Haha, surefire have made one! Not 800lm though. I quite like the idea of a decent light on a watch.
Kind of reminds me, i need a tritium watch as well
Xmas day wear for now
Combi bracelet is very comfy
Merry Christmas all at BLF, have a great holiday
Just checked the sire out Meranom which has vostoks…….not a good idea

Importing from russian fed is still a good bit cheaper on certain models though. Could mean the difference to a good deal or real bargain!
