    CG favorite Lum Tec just came out with the C series of heavy lume watches. The C3, shown here, has a PVD case, tinted crystal, black dial with GX lume, and sells for $395. The best part? LUM-TEC is using a restored vintage automatic movement in these, essentially recycling old movements for placement into a new case. That’s the first I’ve ever heard of anyone doing that and it essentially circumvents ETA’s draconian sales policies while adding a touch of class. Good stuff.

    It’s $395 right now, soon to rise to to $595.
