What's your opinion on Lum-Tec?

I like some of their models, like the coin edged B2. If lume is a big factor, they certainly have that in spades. The movements they use are all over the place, ETA, Seiko, Russian and more. The prices seem a little high to me on some of them. I've looked at Lum-Tec before but am not yet ready to take the plunge. One thing I am a little concerned about is the double sided AR coating. AR on the outside of the crystal is a recipe for scratches to me.

I like them Barn ! However, I like most watches, so I'm not really objective ! In my opinion the Lumzilla would be a good watch to add to your collection. Sure it has amazing lume, and that it is one, if not the main draw of the watch. Nevertheless, they look like well made watches as well, with nice style. This watch looks big and bold, not to mention bright ! All of their models seem very cool, especially the Lumzilla !

Over all I like what I see with this company, the lume is just bad a$$. I think I'll wait and pick up a used model at a better price.
Thanks for all your posts on these, just taking my time and scrutinizing watches more carfully before buying them.

FYI - two M-1s recently sold on WUS for $250...that is more than half off the regular price!
