quick and dirty:



Dial work looks nice, Bezel is deeper(than the Citizen nighthawk) and so is the inner rotating chapter ring. The flame fusuion crystal text has the "TM" logo next to it which means it is just an advertising slogan and there is no real technology involved, so it's sapphire coated mineral or sapphire or mineral take your pick I don't have a hardness tester... The green Chinese lume is ... well green and Chinese. Second hand doesn't align with the second marks on the dial. It does have a functional 24hr/gmt hand just like the citizen too.


Overall the build quality is decent but it's still such a blatant copy of the Nighthawk I find it a bit repulsive... 

It doesn't fit the citizen bracelet and at a glance it doesn't look like the citizen movement and dial will swap into it but since I am happy with my real nighthawk I don't think I am going to try it, I know someone who is planning on trying to swap in the citizen nighthawk movement and dial so I will report back.
