Pulled the covers over my head!!!!

I can't believe a grown man would do that, but I did, to check the super luminova hands on my new SS GMT2C!!!! This is a stunningly beautiful timepiece. Coming from an Omega Seamaster Professional, the weight of this watch feels about the same, that is, I don't even feel it. My AD had 2 last week and now both are gone. Got it for MSRP less about 3%. No tax. I feel lucky!!!

Well, don't feel ashamed about that! I have also sometimes checked to lume that way!

Anyway, a discount on the GMT IIc is very nice!

Congrats!

Aw, you guys are weird! Go in the laundry room and turn the lights off, and watch your wife jump three feet in the air when she opens the door!!

Thats a good one. I always do that but instead of the laundry room, its the bathroom. Its because the

lights in my bathroom are so bright that I always test the lume on my watches in there when I turn them

off. I leave the door slightly open too so that when somebody turns on the light as they enter, they jump

3 feet in the air. And no I am not doing personal business stuff while Im testing the lume in the

bathroom.

I often go in to the laundry room in the dark but I never take my watch with me.

I sat up for an hour last night comparing the lume on the EXP II, GMT II and tritium dialed Sub.

It was fun and informative.

The laundry is just not conducive!!
