The Good:
* Crazy 10.2mm THIN.
* GOOD all-night LUME – can read the time easily at 6am in a dark room. Doesn’t match the lume on my Portus Cale, but up there with “more than sufficient.” Easily passes the f2/1sec/ASA400 exposure test after 30 minutes (which is a great predictor of lume ability), see lume photo on right.
* SAPPHIRE.
* SCREWDOWN crown.
* Quartz second hand HITS the marks.
* Bezel has good CLICK action, just right.
* Bezel sits ever so slightly PROUD of the crystal. I really like that in a watch; keeps the wear on the bezel rather than the crystal.
* Bezel is SLOPED to the outside for cuff-slide action.
* Date window is at THE EDGE of the DIAL, yay! (But is contrasting white, which kinda works as a 3-mark, since all the markers are made of very-pale green lume.)
* 200M
* Stainless steel engraved bezel, no anodized aluminum insert. FTW! * Pip has good lume at 6am.
* SUPER COMFORTABLE to wear on a Barton canvas strap.

Thanks for the b-day wishes. I'll post about the watches when they arrive.quincas wrote: ↑Mon May 18, 2020 7:50 pmNADRocat wrote:NAD but a confession.
Two weeks ago I ordered some Casio's. A GW-2310, a Blue MDV-106, and a cheap AE-1300. This week, within a span of a couple of days, I've ordered both the black and blue Gen4 Monster's and a SBBN031. I've got a problem. I turned 51 last weekend so I guess blowing money on watches is cheaper than getting rid of the wife and getting a younger girlfriend. Besides, Lawyers cost to much. LOL
Happy belated birthday to you! I have not gotten to the point of blowing money yet but I hope to get there some day. Congratulations on the new acquisitions.
How does the blue gen 4 monster compare to the black one?

Cool. If you went for the gold-dial Carroway, I hope you saw my photo of the one I had ordered -- it looks very different from their listing photo (source here). If this isn't what you expected, maybe you have time to cancel. I thought about disputing it with them, it is so different.pgcity wrote: ↑Tue May 19, 2020 1:05 amThank you. In for 2 watches.

I went for that Carroway, before, and it was disappointing (and it's quartz -- was hoping for auto).

Almost feels like cheating for an interesting looking automatic and a Swiss quartz.
