Looking forward to live pix of this watch.

Yea lume means very very little to me honestly, I’m hardly ever out at night

Great watch. I own the older version 057, and love it. I can confirm, no lume.

That said, what is the pearly white substance on the indices and in the middle of the hands? It isn't an ultra-brushed surface I don't think, is it? I looked at it with the loupe that came with my Speedmaster, and I can't figure it out.

Either way - it's an awesome watch. The brushed surfaces are outstanding. Not something you hear everyday regarding GS, usually it's all about the polish. The lugs and crown guards have so many facets, it's a joy to look at. I was originally looking at the Rolex OP39 114300, until I found this.

The 116000 was on my short list also, but I thot this watch has more personality

Yeah, this is a bit of a quirky GS that you don't see a lot about on forums etc. Glad to see someone else talking about it!
