I own the combat B 33. I want to emphasize how tough this watch realy is. After 2 years of heavy use generaly while working outdoors and with machinery the pvd coating shows almost no signs of wear. Titanium carbide is just a bit less hard than diamond and combined with the saphire crystal, the thing is simply indestructable. The tough nylon strap wears extremely comfortably. I believe the company also offers lifelong battery replacements every 5 years with pressure seal checks regards

Wow you guys don't miss a thing. Had to pause to see it. Great review. Wear Seikos and Orients, but these watches appear to have really great lume. Begs the question on why some watch manufactures fail to put much on? Charge and extra $20 - $30 and put it on. I may be weird but I like to see the glow from the night stand. and it's a buying point for me.

What is wrong with the endlink on the right (1 o'clock) side of the 12? It doesn't look like it fits very well. On a $500+ watch I would expect better QC and fit and finish??

Nice looking watches. I had one on my wish list for a while last year. In the end, I decided not to buy it because $1000 for a Miyota9015 movement is just too much. The one with the super-domed crystal is particularly nice looking, but I don’t understand having a field watch with that dome.

These three example really outstanding looking, nice blend of modern tech and neo-vintage styling especially the X3. All side I looked through their site kinda fee like they are a bit ADD with designs (same for MTM and luminox). They've got a couple home-runs seem a shame to add that goofy digital camo pattern to B44. Makes no sense to me to make dial harder to read. Plus Combat 40 not listed anymore.

It is quite bright to be sure, but how long of a readable presence does it have over time? I am addicted to the way SEIKO lume can hold decent readability for 8 to 10 hours.
