Graham, yes, the lume is amazing. Just as good, if not better than the Seiko Monster series. At night when I have to use the bathroom, in very dim light/total darkness, the lume looks scary because it seems to throb....maybe it's got a soul of its own. I think Seiko may have met its match on this lume.hand6.gif
Congrats for the beautiful Nav-b Jeff, the sterile dial is my favorite hand6.gif  I agree 100% with you for the lume, I have a Débaufré Nav-b 48mm and I was amazed the first time a saw it glow in the dark.  I could see the greenish reflection of the lume on a white wall sitting one meeter from hit, no joke!  And it's not only strong for a few minutes, it will last all night and yes, I would say it's a tight match for the Seiko monster.  I would also say that Débaufré /Steinhart makes the best  Nav-b homage you can get for the money IMHO.  Azimuth is using the same case on some of their pilot watches with same movement except a few models with modified Unitas with hacking mechanism and smoother sweep hands and swan neck regulator and sells for many times the price of Débaufré /Steinhart.  So nice catch again for the LE Nav-b, I love the finish of this one!Thumbsup3.gif

Thanks, Daniel. Yes. Very true. I have 2 NavBs (the other is Debaufre) and indeed their lumes are exceptional. Excellent value overall and accuracy is top rate.

On the finish, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I worry that I might ding and scratch it up and getting it buffed and restored might be a challenge. I'll write Steinhart and see what they will say about this ti-like finish;)
