Apoc Wrote:I'm probably the only guy who's had a custom watch built to memorialize a dead cat. I've wanted a "dark" watch and one that was a little bit more military style, so I went with black and cordura in green. I'm really digging the monochrome look and it's much easier to read at a glance than I expected. There is a bit of a QC issue on the band (pictured), but I'm thinking I can fix that with a tack of super glue or something. I might email them about it, but they're so buried I doubt I'll get a timely response. Maybe they send me another band? Iunno... we'll see. The engraving on this was is cleaner out of the box, for sure.Dude I really like that look, definitely stands out while still looking stealth! Those watches definitely turned out better than expected. That band keeper should be an easy fix with some super glue, but I would definitely see if you can get a free band out of it or something .
Here are some pictures - they came out a bit darker than reality.
I picked up a cheap UV light to mess around with and wow, it is the easiest way to charge up lume to max brightness! You don't even have to leave it on as long as I did to supercharge it. Notice how the tritium deep blue isn't charged by it since its not traditional applied lume but still glows all the time anyway 8)
