Update on earlier 4 star review - Luminox Leatherback Sea Turtle Watches

I guess my 12 year old Luminox watch was made with a higher power of tritium than any of the current production, so I can take off any points for the lower level of luminescence with the Leatherback and it's T25 tritium rating. It may not be all that important in the long run. As long as you can see the vials, I guess that is bright enough. My older watch was so bright that you could literally read a book if held close to the page in total darkness. In some ways, that is too bright for stealth, bothering your wife, etc. I still would prefer a T100 tritium watch but Ball may be the only one making those now.

This is still a compromise with respect to not having a screw in crown in terms of water resistance, but since my deep diving days are behind me, not a biggie.
