is that glycine one where the entire face glows?
( it looks slightly green, so that is possible )
i have a pulsar watch like that, great idea
unfortunately it is lady-size
got at a yard sale, so no big cost
need to have a watch sale some time

Oh, OK. Casio’s website says 47x50. Maybe that’s including buttons? They don’t say.
Yep they include crown on many of their measurements for some reason. It’s why on their site and Amazon the larger Pro Treks are listed at something truly crazy like 52mm diameter.

Yes, the whole face is covered with lume, that is one of the attractions for me. And the nerdy 24hour/rotation movement (I’m still nowhere getting used to that :party: ), and the automatic movement, and all that black, and the Nato strap. It is not a classic style Glycine watch but I love this new design. The price was more than what I ever payed for a watch (a Suunto watch with altimeter came close, but that was 25 years ago) so I hope it will last me the next 20 years.

Thank you … Yobokies (Harold Ng) has made the world of Seiko watch mods a very interesting place indeed.
Here a few of my other Seiko Yobokies.

Anyone else notice that watchuseek.com is not working very well today?

Yes … WUS is “Gone Fishing” this morning for me as well.
Wow, that Doxa-style SKX is stunning.

Yep, the Doxa homage is pretty nice. Great beater with lots of character.

They are switching to new servers & software.
The new interface for watchuseek.com is completely unusable for my needs.
If they don't fix it soon, I'll have to find a new watch forum.

I understand.
Most of the forums I belong to have been switching to this software over the past couple months, so I have gotten used to its navigation.
It's the search function that seems practically unusable for me.
Lately I just do a search for threads with "Timex" or "mesh" in the title, and so far it doesn't work like it used to.

Yes, the search specific to each sub-forum, especially the private sales, is now a major PITA for particular brands.
