    That is a lovely looking watch, but I agree £2k is a hefty price tag.

    The more I look at it the more I want one but I can't get past the price...

    It's not tritium. Why the T?

    Really hate that uneven lume application, looks like a toilet bowl in a public loo.

    I like the looks and thought that it might make a good replacement for my summer band-around Borealis Estoril 300, however after seeing the price tag.. not anymore..

    The T is strange
    The lume (apart from the shine) is pretty similar to my original T dial.
    The miss matched hands especially

    I really like the old style CWC logo, but I am not sure about the aged lume colour, it looks like they went overboard with it. I would be interested to see what it looks like on the wrist, lume is always difficult to judge on photos.

    The numbers 3, 6 and 9 should be white and not the same colour as the lume.

    I think the idea is to give it a vintage look.
    I have seen examples with lumed numbers but they may have been a relume as it was very rough

    I do agree with you, the numbers are not lumed and therefore should be white.

    Nevertheless I think the watch looks great. But it's to expensive.
