Check out new offerings from Deep Blue, 99$ for tritium watch. http://www.deepbluewatches.com/daynightt25.html
Thanks, I found out about DB because of this thread. Picked up a OPS model. Great watch, best value for a tritium dive watch I found so far.
http://www.amazon.com/Truglo-Watch-Denali-Chronograh-Tritium/dp/B004Z5CFAE/ref=pd_sim_sbs_sg_1 Built like a tank. There's also a non-chronograph version if this one's a bit too cluttered for you. Sapphire crystal, lumed numbers, trits on all the hands, <$200, a lot of watch for the money. Only nitpick I have is that on the chronograph version the large second hand is only used for the chronograph function, not normal time-keeping.
Suspected bad battery. DB response has been amazing. DB was very apologetic and said that they've shipped 800+ watches without this problem. I was promised an immediate exchange, a refund of my shipping, and a little token for my trouble. DB emailed me the return instructions literally before I got off the phone. Email and phone messages were very promptly attended to. Every manufacturer has an issue sooner or later - the important factor to me is how they respond. So far I don't think DB could do much better. And FWIW my wife really likes the watch too; she usually doesn't care about this sort of stuff.
That pic is not an exageration. The T100 trit tubes really do glow. I have the same watch in PVD and often wear it to bed. With dark adapted vision, it can actually be a little annoying- but I love it.
Thanks, I'm so glad I found this thread. I was close to ordering a GSar from Countycomm for 3 times the price and 1/4 the brightness when I stumbled across this thread and changed my mind.
Not sure if anyone mentioned this already, but I have a yellow Prometheus Jellyfish which is just absolutely awesome, especially for the price.
I picked up a Praetorian Signifier last year, and it's still getting a LOT of wrist time. Looks like this at night:
Awesome, glad to hear. Ordered it as well and was scared by your initial post. =) Look forward to it. How long did it take to receive after order?
