    Great story. What a luck! Is it the one from Bukowski's last big watch auction?

    You remember this watch in an earlier thread we discussed. :) It was worth paying the extra for this one.

    Here’s a quick lume shot, right immediately after the light is turned of. Glows around 20 seconds after lights out, so rapidly fading out.

    Thanks for all the great comments guys! :thumbsup:
    Here’s a shot on a black tropical, the patina of the lume and bezel really “pop” with this strap.
