yeah.  I don't know.  Wish these Invictas were not basically free after shipping and handling.  $55 with 2 day shipping on prime.  I can't buy the damn movement for that.

Indeed.  Wondering if I should match the lume on the hands to the dial?

Always a tough choice, I think it looks better matched but most old gens you see don't match

Yeah, whoever built this in the beginning did this relatively well.  The movement is good, kinda like a tank. They really don't require much.   And the power reserve on these is awesome.  Whoever built this didn't know lume (well at least on hands) .  So I will do that.  Pretty bad scratches on the plexi (already taken care of).  No one cares about the bracelet.   Its ok for this.  Might go for a folded one.  Gotten kind of fond of those.

Any how.....very good pickup.  Case and movement would have run more than this.  And I would have had to do something.

Nice to see the Explorer on your wrist Rich - looks very nice indeed :) I have to agree that the hands would look better if matched to the dial - look forward to seeing the end result!
