 Special Thanks to Marc Frankel at Island Watch for finding this watch and getting it to me. I have liked it for over a year, but it is not all that common as it is a Swiss Movement, a polished case, a carbon fiber dial, and pretty much a dress watch. Size is 42mm, but it is more like a 40mm on the wrist. It is fairly thin too and extremely comfortable to wear. With the factory supplied strap it would no doubt be even more comfy, but I always remove them.

The watch has a nice big, but not too big crown. It winds with a nice reasuring little noise and the dial work is very nicely done. The case has a very high polish which is exactly what I was hoping for. Even the back is polished. The bezel is the standard Buran 'spinner' type which I still don't get. Especially on a watch like this. But, it is of little concern.

Now for the best part. It GLOWS IN THE DARK! Ya-Hoo! All those nice hunky, chunky indicies around the dial are chock full of Superluminova. I just might have to wear my Ray Bans to bed with this bugger. :D It's a dandy! Oh, and it has a quick-date feature too thanks to the Swiss Movement.
