Hey all.
I'm getting ready to buy (this Mon/Tue) a luminox 1801.
https://www.luminox.com/watch-collection/land/field-automatic-day-date-1800-series/xl-1801.html
Any owners here?
Issues?
Comments?
Am I setting myself up for extra pain/hassle buying an automatic? Should I just get the quartz version of this watch? Automatic is around $925 and quartz is around $600.
Thanks...
Edit:
Guess I should say why I wanted this model.
leather band (the metal ones always pull hairs from my arm)
screw down crown (water resistance)
tritium (for when I don't have a light on me)
automatic (so I don't have to worry with a battery)
~43mm (don't like the looks/fit of a lot of the huge 47/52/54 mm watches)
