Need advice on Seiko Presage but with luminous...?

[phdezra]

Hi all. I am seriously considering a Seiko Presage https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072FN5HQV . Automatic movement, 29 jewels.... but I would like luminous markers or hands. Any suggestions? Price range $500-$700ish to add this to my watch collection.

Thoughts? Am I missing a watch out there that has this in price range? Thank you.

Seiko (even GS) dont put lume in dress watches.

It’s a gorgeous watch- I’ve seen it in person.

You could ask Mr. toxic avenger about getting it modified.... but lumed hands would be too thick I think and would take away the watch’s “vibe”

i was thining about getting it modified as I know there are people/stores who will apply lume. If it can be done neatly, this would greatly increase my value as I wear it at night.

I have the previous generation Cocktail Time. No lume, but an attractive dress watch.

They do it on some of them. A few of the 9f watches do I think. And the new GMT's do. But it is rare.

You can not lume those hands. They are solid hands. The only option would be to get some lumed hands that fit that movement and install them.

Personally I think it would ruin the look of the watch.

Good luck.
