Luminox changed from first to last ...

Thanks to USPS's Priority mail, my Luminox became my last watch for 2009 instead of the first watch for 2010. :p Not that I am complaining ... LOL

I sized the watch and tried it on. It has a good weight to it (compared to my last Traser titanium P6506 with bracelet and practically the same case size). The glossy dial is a nice touch.



One thing I have a praise the Luminox is that the 6 o'clock side of the bracelet has one less non-removeable links than the 12 o'clock side. This is is nice because from my experience when I size my bracelet, the 6 o'clock is always shorter than the 12 o'clock side. So this way, the non-removeable links balanced it out.

But on the down side, the links are secured by split pins (I would prefer either screws or pins & collar). And also, the clasp is stamped instead of a solid piece of metal.



Otherwise, the tritium tubes looks bright and fresh. The watch is nicely sized for my wrist size, and it has a comfortable slim profile.

The caseback markts are engraved instead of laser etched, which should be more durable.

My first watch for 2010 ...

Its not even 2010 yet and I already know what my first watch for 2010 will be ... haha~ I just pull the trigger on a Luminox 3202 SS. I *think* its gonna arrive in 2010, which would make it my first watch for 2010. (unless USPS has decided to work over time FOR FREE to delivery my watch before the end of 2009, LOL). It has:

• tritium gas tubes for non-stop glows (at least for the next 20 some years, LOL),
  
• WR 200M,
  
• swiss quartz movement with 10 year battery life,
  
• sapphire crystal with AR coating on the inside,
  
• SS bracelet with solid end links (SEL)
  

I had titanium Traser P6506 before, I sold it and missed it. What got me to get this Luminox is the SS bezel and SEL. Along with the 10 year battery life are the improvement from the the Traser P6506.



Nice SEL. Not that I have much to complain about the folded end links on the titanium Traser, but you can't beat a nice set of SEL.



This will be my beater for the time being. I may still get a Seiko Kinetic or Citizen Eco Drive later on. There's always room for more watches .. :D
