Just been browsing for my next choice of watch, after a diver or nice chunky looking chrono. Currently been looking at the Seiko divers, some c.ward.....max budget £400ish...

Any comments on traser h3 classic? Anyone had one? Any suggestions?

Looking to have it as a daily wearer so got to look okay with the suit!!

The Traser Classic Automatic is a lot of watch for the cash ... ~£350 gets you an ETA 2824-2 movement, sapphire glass front with sapphire glass display back, PVD coating and tritium tubes for continuous illumination at night.

The tritium tubes do not glow as brightly as fully charged Super-Luminova, but as Super-Luminova begins to fade through the night, tritium tubes continue to glow for 10-15 years. Tritium tubes become noticeable in low light levels, but really shine (pun intended!) in pitch darkness ... Quite a cool feature if you're in the cinema, for example biggrin

I also like the Traser Classic Chronograph Big Date Pro Blue, which would appeal to your chrono needs, but at the sacrifice of not being automatic:

And bloody distracting if you're driving at night. *turn steering wheel* "Ooh, look, cool lume!" *crash*

I was very close to pulling the trigger on one of those, but ended up buying a Ball Hydrocarbon for my tritium fix hehe
