Very nice review..
The 656 and Rolex subdate are my most-worn watches. I'm actual pretty happy with the lume on the 656, I guess the large hands make up for any deficiency in the lume. In reality, I rarely need to know the time after dark, so I guess I'm not too concerned about lume power.
On the anonimity factor, I feel the same. - Despite this, the ONLY two times I've had people talk to me about a watch I'm wearing in public has been while I've got the 656 on. One guy was considering buying one and wanted to see it, and the other just liked it's legibility and overall look.
I wear mine on a basic all-black leather band (with black thread).. Looks great.
I keep getting tempted by the 556, but I think I've beaten that 'need' for now...
Anyhow, enjoy it, it's a fine watch!
