When you first open and unpack your carefully packaged watch you will remove a similar LUM-TEC box.

Inside that white box you will find a beautiful wooden box complete with the LUM-TEC plate affixed on the top.

Open the box to find your LUM-TEC eagerly waiting to adorn your wrist. Careful wrapping will be protecting yours, but I couldn’t wait to get mine out and on the wrist before writing this.

Also inside the box you will find your warranty card and owners manual for your model.

Now, if your watch comes with accessories like an extra strap or band, be sure to look in the side compartments of the box to locate your extras.

I find the 300M-3 XL stunning! The combination of orange and white markers against the black dial jumps right out at you and makes this an easy read. The 60-click uni-directional rotating bezel is smooth and distinct through all clicks. Plus the sapphire crystal bezel insert adds a nice gloss to the bezel that looks incredible.

The Miyota 9015 engine has been keeping spot on time and provides a smooth sweeping second hand at 28,800 VPH.

And with LUM in their name you can imagine the lume is off the chart! I charged it and turned the lights out for my son to see and it was like a light. It was actually reflecting off his face! I’ve never seen lume like this before.

The black PVD case and band have almost a brushed appearance against the sapphire bezel, which I think contrast very well and ads to the already great look.

The band is held together with friction pins, which made the band very easy to size, for those that do our own. The clasp is a scissor style, push button deployant complete with a ratcheting clasp to get the perfect fit.

The case back has the LT logo and model information along with your number out of 150 of the Limited Edition.

I could not be more pleased with the LUM-TEC 300M-3 XL. If you have not experienced LUM-TEC you should! LUM-TEC is a company that is serious about the quality of their watches and taking care of their customers. If you call the main line chances are Bes will answer the phone and he does whatever he can to assist. This is a great company and you can feel confident doing business with them.

A couple wrist shot.

[font face=comic sans ms size=4]Great in depth review Steve. I just can't believe how bright that lume is. Excellent photo's too. I've been looking at the G4 and G7 but I'm a little hesitant because of the quartz movements. But after your review I may be making an exception. Thanks and congrats. Great looking piece.[/font]
