A word of caution if anyone is interested in the Bayport. For all the reasons JVL wrote about, it's a stunning watch. Extremely comfortable, well-made, visually appealing, and an overall amazing value. However, it has what seems to be a small design error. The lume in the hands is significantly dimmer than the lume in the hour markers. Because of this, you can find yourself in the situation of being able to see all the hour markers clearly, but not being able to tell the time because you can't see the hands at all. Ideally, I think that the lume on the markers and the hands should have been the same. But if they have to be different, then the lume should be brighter on the hands, because you can certainly tell the time just by looking at the hands, even if the markers are no longer visible.
