Was enjoying reading @Archer on blue dialled Seikos, and realised I had to dig this out!

Note the lavender behind-or is this too arty 馃槈

Full Disclaimer: yes, I am obsessing over a new to me vintage watch purchase. I bought this Friday and wore it all weekend. I have used it to time my walks and posted pics of it with a strap to mate with it for member approval. I even wore it to work today, which as a common laborer I don't normally do with anything other than my $50 Seiko or a couple of older Hamiltons I know aren't too valuable. But, knowing this was no Omega, I wore it today since I am still honeymooning with my first blue faced watch. It's a jeans and blue tee shirt world I work in, so this is perfect for that. My work entails that I have to look at samples of our product under blacklight. I noticed the watch while doing a sample and thought it interesting. Thank you in advance for not banning me. ;-)

Interesting that the lume appears to be casting light downwards onto the dial as well as towards the eye. Why would they lume the back of the hands?

Kicked a few work cans down the road and headed for the beach to get the BEAST (Hobie 21 SC) on the beach and then a sail on the Nacra with Mrs S. Finally feels like summer.
