I love everything about this except the "radium" lume. I'm officially over it.
I wish that watch were 38mm?

Very interesting. I'm not interested in purchasing one but it is easy for me to give this a thumbs up. I'm glad to see someone offering a 36.5" watch and I hope they do well.

Miyota is an automatic pass for me but let me give my (unwanted) opinion on this watch:
- no matter what you define the brand name to be, Mitch Mason reflects another extremely generic brand name
- like Boourns stated, old radium is so overdone and unappealing
- I enjoy icon-inspired cases but this one is literally just a carbon copy of vintage GS: yuck.

According to the brand the hour hand was inspired by a rope knot "tying" the vintage and modern aesthetics together.
Have also read a fountain pen nib in another review and that is what I see now.

I see that as well.
I also see a crown or a turban.
