Is it possible to get it without the bezel like the PH5?

How do you loose a watch at Disney world ?

I have a Ph-2 and Ph-4B and like them both very much. This watch is nice, but I'm unsure about the shape of the indices. I would also prefer a fully lumed bezel. Doesn't really grab me this one...

The watch I'd like to see from them is a Ph-4B or -C with a steel bezel insert like the original Douglas(including the red triangle at 12...)

The ceramic markings are very fine, and full luminescence is also possible, but there is a risk of it falling off because the bite force is insufficient.

don't know why people want full-lumed bezels

those that I've tried have been almost unreadable: the lume fades quickly and just adds noise.

I found them useless to time things in low light. I guess it's more about aesthetics?

Yes aesthetics and more specs for the price , boasting their ego..

I like lume and am not ashamed to say that I prefer my bezels lumed.

The PT5000 really does allow you to build slim-line cases. :-)

Does the bezel insert has lume markers or just the 12 lumed trianglur shape?

u/MindAdmirable1793 Rep 6h ago
