This watch is a stunning watch to look at in person. A family member really wanted this watch. He tried it on at a department store first so I did not have to worry about sizing. He mainly uses this watch for graduate school. I've seen it on him and it seems to match well with his style. Loos very professional. I don't believe there's any luminescence, but this is more aimed for a day watch than night time. Build quality looks and feels like it will last a long time. Hopefully long enough for him to graduate and upgrade to an even nicer watch!
