Luminox watches have never really done much for me, that being said, I saw this watch in a jewelry store on a trip to Hawaii and it caught my eye.  Previous to that I had been eye-balling a Tag Heuer Formula One with black case, face and band -but the price seemed to high for what that watch is.
Then I saw this watch which is truly blacked-out except for luminescent markers.  I asked to try it on and wow! - it is light!  The case isn't stainless steel it says it is made of carbon...all of this for just $295. I was in love.  I decided to sleep on it, and when I returned the next day sure of my intent to purchase it was gone :(  I was told that this blacked-out version sells out quite quickly.
I returned to the mainland and kept checking online for it and told myself if I could find it at a discount I would buy it, eventually it came up here on Amazon at $219, so I pulled the trigger.  Dexclusive/Amazon shipped the watch quick and it was on my wrist in 2 days.  One thing however, which I didn't notice in my initial excitement -- there are two approx 1-2mm gouges in the right caseback.  What are those?  Was some marking removed?  Is the watch refurbished?  I don't see something like that making it out of QC at the factory.  It has given me some pause - but I've been wearing the watch for 1 day now and no issues.  By the way the indices glow a very bright blue at night with orange at 12 o'clock...so cool
