1st Lum-Tec Dive Watch.

So, once the new depth limit is discovered will the watch then reflect the 'new' meters (M) number on the face? Or the additional words, 'AND BEYOND' after the 500M mark! Now I have to figure out a way to increase my wrist size beyond 7" so I can wear one. Thanks a lot guys!

The wording will not be changed as I am pretty sure the dials are made. Also I am told the fellow at LT with the 6.75" wrist loves the fit of the watch. So it might still work for ya. =)

Hey, if it'll work on a 6.75" wrist then it should work on mine too, right!
Here's a question for ya....I noticed that in the views of all 3 watches together, in the angle shots, that the crystals on the Bull45 and the Combat B appear to have no distortion compared to the 500M. Any thoughts on that? Anyway, I'll be starting my '500M' savings account now!
Thanks Tom.

The M's have domed crystals which are 5mm thick which is why there is distortion on those.

I wondered if that was the case, and that's just fine with me. From all I've heard about Lum-Tec, they do their homework and build an awesome watch! Thanks again Tom.

Not only that but the really important thing to me is their strong commitment to customer service. I see people comment about that quite often on various sites.

Very true. I've heard that repeated from members here on this forum.

I'm getting more and more tempted by some of the current models, the M14, M13 and the M9. I know these aren't 'dive' watches or automatics, but man are they beautiful! I might be contacting you about the members discounting you mentioned.
Thanks.

Your much better off looking at the 2010 models with their screw down crowns in my view. The 2010 M auto's are Swiss made with Swiss movements. The Combat F1 is also Swiss made. The next gen tungsten s have better fit and movements, and so on.

So far I have one of each of the 500's on pre order for people and just had someone email about a 500 M1. So I might have two of those on pre order soon. =) You know there is that special BDWF pricing I offer. *G*

Too large for my wrist, but that is one great looking watch w/insane lume!
