I'm quite content with my two lings, but always get the urge as Spring approaches to buy a watch. Certainly not for everyone, but for some reason I probably like this more than I should... even after reading a couple of threads with people beating up the brand. lol But for $777 I'm not going to worry about that too much. http://www.lum-tec.com/collection/upcom ... order.html

Looking at the case and lug setup I bet that would look good as a 40, wearing a bit larger. |

Yes, 40mm may just work out great. Also had my eye on the 40mm Helson Sharkdiver, nice dials, but the case/lug design is a little strange looking. |

Interesting. I have a not dissimilar spring-time budget itch for one of these: http://www.christopherward.co.uk/men/di ... a-pro.html |

I really like what Lum-Tec is doing. The cynic in me wonders how they are going to deliver so many upcoming models, but they are undoubtedly have a strong following and very good products. I also like that they aren't being tempted to go with Swiss movements just for the image but sticking with solid Japanese movements that help keep the costs down. |

Tomorrow I'll probably buy my 2nd Lum Tec even before I receive the first. (Estimated for May) For those who have requested pictures obviously I can't provide them of watches I don't have, but here's a few shots I've seen along the way that have me sold. Personally I don't see much, if anything out there at this price point that is as nice. I like the third pic as it appears to show how good the finishing is on this watch.

These pictures are really convincing. I like these LumeTecs, they look sharp and the lume is just awesome. |
