First responders, “oh sh** it’s a full moon tonight.”

Worked in A+E (emergency room) a long time ago

Oh flippin' my!

You get this dial outside and the "stars" twinkle, sparkle and dance in and out of luminance: I guess the pattern never actually repeats.

The "disappearing" hands? Every time the camera hides them I actually can see them so it's not a problem.

I really love the uniqueness of this watch. Stands out in a collection. Congrats!

That is a beautiful! Congratulations.

Needs some photos in the Reference Gallery.

I thought it was white lume???

I must say it's growing on me. I've seen a number of reviews now.

I don't think the sparkly dial is at all feminine. It adds interest. I do think it could do with some metallic dots for each hourly index, to help with time telling, and setting.

I think setting the Moonphase is bound to be a bit tricky to get it dead on, as the Moonphase isn't advancing in daily or hourly increments..

With the benefit of this C1 Moonphase, the previous C1 moonglow now seems a little cluttered, even with just the logo, and would probably be improved by removing the date, although it then becomes almost just another C1 Moonphase variant if you aren't careful.

Maybe the moonglow will be phased out now

Nah, anyone can see that it’s Beta Draconis past Uranus and Delta Orionis seconds.

Conveniently, tomorrow Sunday 29th October Is a full moon. I'll let you know if it's frustratingly difficult but having set the watch on delivery today I think I'm going to be able to cope. (I like it so much more when a watch arrives and it's wound, running and set to time; just saying.... )

Having walked the watch three miles to the post office my first thoughts are that this isn't a special occasion watch, it's an every day watch. Timing a boiling egg? Maybe not. Timing a journey? Maybe not. Serving as a pulsometer for medical purposes? Maybe not. A thing on the wrist for the simple pleasure of it? All day long.

Thank you my AT toting friend

It took a little lateral thinking on my part. My problem was "do I need another dress watch for a declining activity at dressy events?" My solution was throw out the dress watch event requirement and to question why I shouldn't just wear the heck out of it.

I've had to feed the reference gallery for @Kip but there'll be more real world photos tomorrow onwards: maybe not for making 3kg of venison burgers or giving the virginia creeper its annual haircut but definitely tomorrow.
