Mike on a bike Posted August 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 I did not get it sold out. (link there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagneinhand Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I bought a Gen Luminox Black Ops for snorkeling and ocean wear. It's quartz but it's steel with a screw in crown. The tritium is the best in low light situations and no light situations. The problem is the lack of more than one piece of tritium on the rotating bezel. Still a good water watch for sub $400. Beware where you buy as many of the Luminox watches that didn't pass strict QC are sold all over but particularly at Amazin and Luminox will not warranty watches from sales outside ADs. Though if you were former military you can buy them through GovX for a reasonable price. Still not cheap and this brand had just climbed steadily in price. Beware of the non screw-in bezels if you plan on going past 10 feet deep as double O rings just aren't enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 The dial glows orange, as do the numbers on the insert... and they look great against the blue numbers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought my son a Luminox off World of Watches used last summer as life guard plenty of saves no problems. (under 200 great deal!) Used again this summer swimming in ocean again all good, trying to get in Navy Seals this fall. If he does I will be buying him some watch, no way I want him to have ANY issues for obvious reasons. What is the best for that application guys / I have a few in mind, any suggestions might have missed something.

Nanuq Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Going for it? Nah.... I still have a scabby old orange diver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denimhead Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Its got an Orange hand A mate of mine has just picked one of this up for $250.00 which i think is a real steal considering they were a limited production run. Love these small boutique watch brands, its like a revival of the 1960's with lots of small companies producing divers watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpz5142 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 These (Deep Blue Alpha Marine) are outstanding watches, I have the black dial and I love the lume scheme. The dial and bezel are blue and the tritium tubes are orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdkno Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 trying to get in Navy Seals this fall. If he does I will be buying him some watch, no way I want him to have ANY issues for obvious reasons. What is the best for that application guys / I have a few in mind, any suggestions might have missed something. Only one way to go. G-Shock, digital display that is easy to read at a glance and they hold up well in salt water which is something to seriously consider as going through selection you spend a lot of time in the surf and you don't get time to rinse it with clean water. Light at the push of a button, can display mil time and they are bomb proof. In all honesty though a watch is not needed during the initial BUDS phase as time becomes irrelevant once you step onto the grinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
