what is your budget?
do U want a lume that last 4-8hrs in total darkness?
or do you want something that will go for 10-30mins and dies?

preferable 2-3k range with longer glow than 10min .... 4 hours? is there really such thing as 4 hour glow ( i mean bright glow? )

diver watches are generally better.

laco, steinhart u had in mind are pilot watches. Seiko no pilot watches iirc.

this is a nice watch. sadly U will not get your sweet lume. good buy or not will really depends on the price U can get it. The ad u posted was back in March 2009.

today price is higher. was listed sgd$3874 in Dec 2008. today is at us$3452 or ~sgd$4400
