They look great, a nice cohesive design BUT...
It looks like the dial producer only put a single notch to apply on the 12-marker to the dial as multiple variants pictured have misaligned markers.

Me too. The lume is very cool.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

The twelve-hour bezel looks great. The lume pipe can be in any position without concern since that bezel likely relies on friction rather than a clicker, I'm guessing.
I need another watch like I need a hole in my head but I may bite, since they're in Washington State.

Just my $0.02 USD as always.
