Black Black Black
Discussion
A little while back, I fancied a black/stealthy watch and ended up buying one of these:
It's a nice watch, and I like the simple design (don't like chronos, too fussy and does anyone EVER use the sub-dials anyway?) so it fitted the bill well. However, in all honesty, it was difficult to read in some lights, and the lume was very poor.
It recently got damaged and so I'm looking to replace. Budget is probably around the £200-ish mark, as it's just an additional occasional weekend thing really. I've seen this today on Amazon which is very keenly priced:
and which also appears to have good lume:
What do we think? Is that strap changeable?
Or alternatively, anyone got any recommendations for a stealthy black/black/black watch in budget?
I know there was a black watch thread a while back but, quel surpris, the PH search function isn't working properly.

How about this;
Luminox navy seal blackout. Carbon reinforced case, stealth and tritium tubes. Excellent lume and very easy to read.
I just so happen to have one that I'd be willing to part with
I did go and look at one of these before I bought the Torgoen, it was very light in weight (not necessarily a bad thing) but for me didn't seem to justify the sticker price. Have you got a price in mind?Luminox navy seal blackout. Carbon reinforced case, stealth and tritium tubes. Excellent lume and very easy to read.

It is indeed very lightweight but I think that is down to.the carbon case. It has a Hirsch black rubber strap which gave it a little more weight as the original strap is a bit flimsy. I'd be looking for circa 100. Just what it stands me.

I was about to post that the Citizen was sub £80 last Friday (I missed out when it was on offer) and then had gone back to £150ish so wouldn't be keenly priced.
Now you've just gone and made me spend £75!!
It was £56 iirc, I very nearly bought one aswell but decided against it. Lovely looking watch though!Now you've just gone and made me spend £75!!
