Lum-Tec M18

It's been way too long since I've taken pics of what I've picked up in the last year.

Some may remember that brother Earl (Duker) and I made a trip to Lum-Tec.

This arrived sometime in November and I have been enjoying it ever since. Currently I have it a super rubber strap but it also came with a black/orange leather strap as well as a pvd bracelet. I have three other pvd watches and you can just feel the difference in the quality of Lum-Tec's, I don't know what they do different but there is no question of the thickness and quality of the coating. Here are the specs from their website.

* 44mm case excluding crown

* 24mm lug width.

* 316L stainless steel construction.

* 100 meters water resistance.

* Rare twin barrel 21 jewel vintage automatic winding Soviet military movement. Slava 2427. Full service in USA.

* 38-41 hours power reserve.

* LUM-TEC GX MDV luminous hands and dial.

* Quick-set date button.

* Heavy sapphire crystal.

* Double side anti-reflective coatings.

* Diamond seal crown.

* Bead blasted PVD hard coated full case and bracelet

* 3 straps included, 316L stainless steel bracelet with matched finish, molded rubber strap with matched stitching, and leather strap with matched stitching


Now the pics, sorry about the quality, they could be better but I just shot them about an hour ago, no light tent, over head incandescent and a point and shoot on auto. The lume is like none I have ever seen , these guys have got lume down to a science, their watches glow with the slightest exposure to light, really amazing.

great watch. i've always liked lum-tec and since you stopped by and they were very cool, it was nice of you to support the brand! A few companies out there could learn a little customer service from these guys!

. . . Nice!!! Always liked the look of the Lum . . . .

Nice watch and great lume!
Excellent pictures too, enjoy wearing it.

Most Lum-Tecs I see are chronos so diggin' that 3-hand!

Great design, SERIOUS killer lume and that strap is the bombdigity!

Great pics!

Thanks guys,

Alan, if you like the looks of that 3 hander wait till I get some pics posted of the Lumezilla!

These Lum-Tech's are awesome.....I like everyone I've seen.....

Lum-Tecs are just amazing to look at ! That bright lume is a BIG reason.
However, the watches themselves are top notch also. That rare movement
is intriguing, while the design of the dials and cases is DEFINITELY outstanding.
I remember when you guys went to visit Lum-Tec, it looked like real fun. Plus
you actually got to see and feel the quality of the watches, which was great.
In any case, this looks like one of those quality pieces sir ! I mean even
the strap has some great orange stitching ! Terrific !!!..Congrats to you and
keep enjoying it !

I'm likin that 3-hand MUCHOMUNDO!!! Is that like BOMBDIGGITY??? Anyway...great watch and killer lume!
