With all due respect.......I have worked for Luminox for the past 17 years and have seen my share of Limited Edition SR-71 pieces come and go......in fact at one point I had to beg ownership to stop releasing "limited edition" SR-71's every year........I think to make the comment that this is weird junk is unfounded
That being said, this is my absolute favorite of all of the SR-71 watches that we have done ........period the end. I could care less about our Lockheed Martin affiliation as it all reeks of Orange County Chopper to me........another turn off, but the design of this watch is what needs to be appreciated.
-The case and bracelet are stainless steel with a hardened/thick PVD coat The heft on your wrist is solid and comfortable....not to big, not too heavy -The midnight green dials pays homage to the radar screens that could not spot this plane in the skies......the green dial goes from midnight black to green depending on the light -I love the way the middle pieces of the bracelet are reflected in the shape of the chrono sub-dials on the watch face. The design flows completely thru the watch -The internal rotating bezel comes in handy, since it cannot be knocked off by an inadvertent door smack, etc. -The see thru case back shows off the engine of the Valjoux 7750, which is extremely well balanced -I also like the ice blue tubes and green tube combination.
We had a distributor in South America go bankrupt (what a suprise), so I was able to buy these pieces back at a discount and offer to MD.
This is a great price on a great watch.

maxcoachNot to split hairs here, Max, but Soviet, Cuban, and North Vietnamese radar saw the Y-12 and SR-71. What kept it safe was it's altitude and it's speed.
