I raced down to the post office to pick up my pre-ordered Megalodon (from last July). Its lume markers take up more surface area of any dial on a watch I've ever owned. For me, a lume freak, that's a good thing. The bezel is 49mm and plays as such. The watch is heavy but not too much. The carbon dial is subtle yet distinctive. Coming out of my car in a rainstorm at dusk with a bunch of heaters I bought at Lowe's, I saw the lume markers blazing like bright lights. I'm rather loving this watch.

Nice musicians watch---as the lume markers look like guitar picks. It's a very interesting face design----love the textured carbon look. Do you know what movement is in this watch?

Very nice, Jeff. I was going to say the thing about guitar picks, but Angelo beat me to it. (I remember him making this comment before.)

Great looking watch - love the bracelet, bezel, case, lume markers. You know I'm not a carbon dial guy, but that's just me. This watch looks perfect for you - maybe the most perfectly Herculodgian watch I've ever seen, except for perhaps the Tuna.

Gary: That's funny that you remember me commenting about the guitar picks----I don't even remember me commenting about that! It's a nice watch----I'm definitely not seeing "catch and release" in this watch's future. This looks more like a buy and hold for Jeff.

The markers are supposed to look like the teeth of a giant shark, but they also happen to look like guitar picks.

I do like Jonny's adjective Herculodgian as in Herculodgian explorations. Suits me.
