WOW - again, looks fantastic! That NATO strap matches too!

That looks awesome to me. Vintage with a flair of technology! Wear it in style and PM me if you sell it.

Thanks for all the comments

I just bought this Maratac, and It looks really good on the watch. When it is not wet, the color is a bit lighter and closer to the color of the lume.

Now THIS is why I love this watch. Vintage, but I am not afraid to get it wet

Wow.... looks very good!

Jason - super looking! I'm a little nutty about lume, and that's one thing that has made me hesitate about getting a vintage watch. I respect the views of the purists, but there's little argument that you got a terrific result. (psst - if I find a badly relumed watch, I'll know what to do with it now!)
