DIAL: THIS DIAL REALLY PULLS AT MY HEART STRINGS. REALLY A FAR-OUT AND UNIQUE DESIGN WHICH I’VE NEVER SEEN ON ANOTHER SKIN-DIVER. I LOVE THAT GORGEOUS SILVER BACKGROUND WITH THAT INSET 24 HOUR SCALE. CHECKOUT THAT LUSCIOUS AGED TRITIUM ON THOSE EXPLORER STYLE NUMERALS. SUCH A COOL LOOK. THE LUME MATCHES NICELY WITH THAT ON THOSE AWESOME LADDER STYLE DIVER HANDS. THAT LUMED ARROW SWEEP HAND IS A NICE TOUCH.
