It just gets better

So, after programming at the dining room table for 3 hours, it was finally time to put the kids to bed. This involves lying with each of them for a few minutes as 'settle time'.

Tonight I still had my Sub on when this happened, and our oldest asked "What time is it?" I glanced at my Sub and said.."it's...HOLY CRAP!"

The lume on the watch blew me away! I guess I'd never really experimented with my own watch despite seeing all the great pics here. However, I was amazed at the brilliance of the lume on the watch, so much so in fact that it reflects off the chapter ring (If that's what it is without the Rolex words on it like the new models have).

It was stunning....even my oldest daughter went "Woah!"

So...after 2.5 weeks of ownership...there are still new moments of wonder and discovery.
