Wrist Check

The beast is back! This is my 48mm x 17mm Aragon Parma with 31 T-100 tritium tubes. The lume on this is crazy. I haven't worn this in quite a while. 24mm Aragon strap is a recent addition and really drops the overall weight from the bracelet. Even at 56.5mm LTL it still doesn't overhang my big wrist.

Smart idea to replace the metal band with leather. I am doing that with several of the watches in my collection, some of which weigh in at 11 ounces! I have also been looking at T-100 watches. I think I'm going to go for a Swiss quartz movement.Something like Armorlite. Lighter, accurate. I was told the other day that many countries, including those in Europe will only allow T-25 tritium, since it's radioactive. Only U.S. market permits T-100. Not sure how true that is, but interesting.

Zoomed in, the camera picks up the lume better. After nearly an hour, the SKX had dimmed to the same brightness as the T25, so I just zoomed in to show the difference between T100 and T25. Seeing them in person, there is no doubt that of all the lume options on the market, T100 is the best and most consistent, at least until the tritium decays. The picture I posted early in this thread is pretty representative of how it looks in person. Not overly bright, but easy to read.

PetrosDThanks, this is really helpful, especially seeing it in comparison to the Seikos.

I love my $130 on sale Aragon 45-mm Evo, but I'm starting to think about buying something more like yours. I sort of considered Aragon a sort of Parmis-like place, but after watching this interview with Wing and looking more closely at their website, they have some nice, higher-end stuff. In fact, their problem is too many designs. I want a spreadsheet with all the watches and all the data!

Nice! That embossed bezel is pretty sweet.
