Yes it is JJ. Mine glows in the daylight. I still am enjoying it too much to decide if I'm going to Yao-ize it or not.

I'm in the same place as Paulie walnuts, actually. I'm thinking about yaoizing... but the existing dial/hands is just so bright.

I may go for his orange dial that covers the day/date complication, though. I think that looks smart.

Actually the one think I'm not big on with the BM is the chapter ring. If I went with a Yao orange dial, I'd get an aluminum chapter ring to eliminate the seconds scale. There's a seconds scale on the bezel (full 60) so the large scale on the dial/ring is overkill. I want a clean dial, in orange.

That'll be sweet man. I don't have a problem covering up the day wheel, but I like the date function.

Nice Chip, thanks for posting that again. It looks way cleaner. But that orange Yao dial, paying hommage to the Seiko Prospex (sat dive watch) is calling to me.
