Thanks Matt, how do you like your Fireman Night Train? I wish the case diameter was 40mm, but I do like the height/thickness being 11mm. Do you have pics to share? I have an Omega and it's bright when charged; in comparison, I wonder how much brighter are the tritium gas tubes? Bummer about the UTC, that was certainly a factor that attracted me.

Hi, the pics I already posted are the best I have. Trust me, tritium tubes DESTROY any other lume tech. Fantastic watch at night and no need to "charge."

I really like the watch, but Ball pissed me off on the UTC feature.
