I wasn't expecting this until tomorrow but was quite happy to see the package in the mail box when I got home!  I recently got interested in LUM-TEC, mostly for this model's clean dial and bold look but I also like that the company is near Cleveland, Ohio where I lived for many years. Some pics:











Here's a shot with the M16 and Moray. They have are both 44mm and somewhat similar. At first I thought one would get flipped but I like them both! :D

Kinda thought that, but not really knowing a lot about the brand I thought I'd ask. Thanks and wear it in good health.

That's a very clean dial and I assume it glows like a torch. Hint hint lume shot...;)

Quartz movement?

Its an automatic movement. They describe it as, "Rare twin barrel 21 jewel vintage automatic winding Soviet military movement. Slava 2427. Full service in USA". IF I am allowed to post a link to another forum, I found some info on a Slava 2428 which  I think is similar:

I take lousy lume shots so I borrowed this one from another M16 guy for reference:

Congrats Mike!!! That looks good, I always like the clean look of this one, very B&R and I love it.  I have no Lüm-Tec yet but definitely a brand I keep on my radar!  And that movement seems very interesting...Well done and enjoy!ThumbsUp02.gif
