I wasn't wearing watches for like 10 years. Then, all of a sudden decided to buy one. And I have chosen this one. And couldn't be happier. The only problem is that she reignited my love for watches and sent me to a shopping spree for straps and more watches. But, this watch will remain my daily ride for sure.
As for the pictures, I am using a NATO strap and it suits the watch great. Also, the luminesce is super strong. I went outside for a few second to take the first picture on a sad, rainy day. And this little natural light was enough to lit up a dial once I have stepped inside. And the room wasn't even dark, as you can see on second picture.
All in all, happy customer here.
