Well the first one is an Omega Seamaster Bond, right? I dont remember 3 lings you have, but I can tell by the chintzy lume dots that they are probably Chrono Avenger, or Seawolf Avengers... liekly a Super Avenger on the far right since its so big. The Avengers have the chintziest lume... I was expecting glow numerals the first time I got one. Added: I think that second one is a Navi or a Windrider of some sort cuz of the second hand tho.. |

DOH.. I was like.. how can #2 be an Evo? Then I realized that the Roman Numeral version of the Evo has different Lume Dots because the bars version has double strips for the indexes... I was wearing my Evo and I was like no way that's an evo

How do you get the lume to show up so well? On my SW last night, it hardly showed up at all. Is it a matter of shining a bright light on it first? or what? I am sure mine is not defective, just need to know how to make the lume show up better. Thanks. Cheers, Carl |

Carl, exactly....just place it under a light (white spiral one is OK) for ~15-30 sec...and you got LUME GALORE.... |

BTW I meant to ask you: Your Seawolf, being all brushed, do you really notice scratches a lot less than on the polished surfaces. The brushing is so fine, almost a satin finish, that I would imagine scratches being quite noticable. I'm going to my AD on Sat. and take him up on his offer to brush the OR clasp for me. Since my SW has polished sides, I will leave the sides of the clasp as well. What do you think of that idea? Cheers, Carl |

Cheers, Carl Carl, In all honesty, I don't wear my Seawolf very often (blame it on the SA).... and yes, the scratches do show a lot less (its the Ti as well) than on my SA, which is completely polished (except for the bezel). I love to wear my Seawolf Ti when I go outside with my boys to play (especially in the snow) and I know I will get all roughed and banged up.  The OR bracelet is up for the task as well (everyone needs a strong "TOOL" watch to play around with )The new Seawolf (which I have yet to see in person) looks to be much more "sophisticated and refined" than the older model and I think its tooooo nice of a watch to just "kick" around; like many people used to do with the older Ti model (my self included )The clasp on the OR bracelet is a magnet for scratches; I scratched mine the very first day  Having said that, I don't think I would go have it brushed cause I like to keep things original.... I don't think anyone will notice  Dont mean to bore you all with another pic................

I don't think anyone will notice Dont mean to bore you all with another pic................ Nice job on the pic, with the older model as well. You are right about the clasp on the OR strap. I already have a lot of scratches on it, from the couple of months I had it on my Steelfish. That's OK. I am going to start wearing the Seawolf to work, too, so it will get scratched up. That's OK, I really want to wear this and enjoy it. When the clasp is really scratched up, I will likely get the brushing done. I know what you mean about keeping things original, though, but I can get away with it by saying that I kind of need to get the scratches "polished" out! I think I mentioned, that I almost wish the new Seawolf was all brushed like your model, but I realize it would take away from some of the more sophisticated refinements that they made. Sometimes when I look at it, I am reminded of my Superocean and Colt. Cheers, Carl |
