Copying Boston Charlie's post from the deal thread as a potential for you though I'm not sure how well the tritium will fit the bill. There are obviously no shortage of watches that meet the rotating bezel and good lume requirements but when you add the <11mm thick criterion, there really aren't that many. You would think Seiko Solar and Citizen Eco-drive divers might work but they're all way too thick. Look forward to seeing what you end up with.Maybe a deal for us small watch fans. It's a women's Luminox Swiss Made quartz, all stainless steel, screwback case, a/r sapphire crystal, 38mm x 11mm, 41mm L2L, 200m WR. T25 tritium lume. Screw-down crown per Princeton. I'm guessing that with the bezel it wears small, especially since the 38mm might include that flange on the left. These reviews at Amazon make it clear that the strap is too short for most men. $270 - 10% 10OFF2019 = $243 incl. free shipping & free returns in conUS. List: $600.

Re: These 3: Rotating Bezel, Thin, Lume.
Man, you got that right! I have found ONE (family of) Seiko 5s that's 11mm thick with an internal rotating "compressor" ring (wrong term I know -- what's the correct term?) and that's the family of five watches starting with the SRPB25 upwards. I may be heading there next -- if any of you are selling please let me know. In the meantime I have a Glycine Combat Sub (10.6mm) and a Borealis PC (11.3mm) to keep me company, but would really like a less expensive watch I can not worry about banging around a bit.yinzburgher wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 4:21 pmThere are obviously no shortage of watches that meet the rotating bezel and good lume requirements but when you add the <11mm thick criterion, there really aren't that many.

EDIT: I'm suspicious that the widely-given dimension of 11mm is wrong. I think it's more like 12.5mm. Trying to verify that.

Re: These 3: Rotating Bezel, Thin, Lume.
This Lucky Brand Dillon sport watch appears to be 10mm thick. I used the proportions from the photo and its advertised 42mm width to estimate a 10mm thickness:
https://www.macys.com/shop/product/luck ... ryID=57386
The above model is only $82 from the mfg here:
https://www.luckybrand.com/dillon-sport ... 00125.html
The mfg also has a greater variety of Dillon styles here, e.g.:

Re: These 3: Rotating Bezel, Thin, Lume.
How about this quartz Orient? 10mm thick. Listing doesn't say whether the bezel rotates, but it looks like it does. It also doesn't mention lume, but it almost certainly is.

I wish that watch were 38mm?

Re: These 3: Rotating Bezel, Thin, Lume.
Okay, forget the Wenger. This one is much cooler. I found this one at Ashford but it looks like there are some on eBay, too.
Sector 450 Swiss quartz, 200m WR, sapphire crystal, 38mm x 9mm, unidirectional bezel, Model 2653450025. Full specs here at Ashford's new watch listing, which is OOS.
pre-owned from Ashford, $90 - 25% PONOV25 = $68.
https://www.ashford.com/us/watches/sect ... 025-PO.pid
A better photo from the new watch listing linked above (but OOS):

Re: These 3: Rotating Bezel, Thin, Lume.
"Life happened" in the past week and haven't checked in till now. WOW! Thanks, guys, for all these wonderful leads! Yes, you're exactly on the trail that I wanted to find, thanks very much. DK why I had such difficulty finding these, and very happy to know they exist. Will start sorting these ASAP. Most excellent. Thanks for the help!
Even found a non-black-dial watch for me. Wonderful.

Re: These 3: Rotating Bezel, Thin, Lume.
BC, do you have some superhuman ability to filter your searches by thickness? Do you have a method for finding these thin robez watches? Or do you just plunge through the descriptions the hard way? I don't see that Ashford has a filter for thickness.
The only seller I've found that allows you to filter by thickness is Overstock.com, and usually their prices are IMO quite high.

And I agree on overstock. I can't figure out how people can find deals there. I go in with a 20% off coupon, search for an hour and come out empty handed. I am always amazed when someone finds a smoking deal there.
It doesn't stop me from trying though!

Lol -- I can't possibly keep up with y'all in the number of quality and interesting deals you find.

I've just been singling out any thinner watches I found as I browsed around. The pre-owned Ashford watches are fun to browse because there are so many models you just don't see on the new market.

Re: These 3: Rotating Bezel, Thin, Lume.
Of the watches listed, this is the one that I fancied the most. After contacting Joma several times, I finally got an answer: FIXED BEZEL. Can you believe that?? Sure looks like it's designed to rotate. (Sad trombone sound.)
