I finally quit dithering and bought the Arktis. I'm also working on picking up something with wings on it to ensure absolution.

Nice mix of brushed and polished surfaces. Limited adjustability for the bracelet, though.

The polished flipover clasp is a nice touch, too.

And so I have the blue watch I missed, and I'm back up to three watches. I bought it for the blue, and I'm happy with it. Markers and hands have great lume, seconds hand lumes as well, thoough it requires a strong charge. Sadly, the arabics aren't luminescent, but at this price point, no problem. Pretty good quality, appearance, and a different look, though admittedly reminiscent of my beloved Breguet XXI--which to me is a good thing.

I like the blue, trying to decide on picking up a blue diver style these days.

And yes you better go to church this weekend, (Sinn'er)! :lol:

In response to twotone, full links, some adjustment holes in the clasp but fewer than others I have seen:

The blue changes with surroundings--lighter with a white shirt or on bracelet, darker with the blue shirt or on the blue strap which I also bought. I little lighter blue overall than most blue dial you'll see, though still dark enough, for me, anyway, to be distictive.
