 Just my opinion, Tom, but I myself wouldn't spend extra for lume for a watch. I need lume only when I sleep at night. But even then, I sleep with a small bedside lamp and 2 watches on -- 1 on each wrist. One is always with decent lume (nothing beats the Frankenmonster, I agree) and the other is something that needs some wrist movement to power it up.

The great dress watches have among the worst lumes you can ever find but they don't bother me at all even if I have to sleep with them on. If I need to check the time inside the moviehouse and I happen to wear a watch with weak lume, I just check my cellphonesubtlelaugh.gif.

Maybe I'd spend extra for sapphire glass, or an extra strap or maybe even spare pins.
