When i saw the indices, it made me think of something which i couldn't put my finger on. I have now - the white blocks that you used to find in urinals......
Sorry......
That's it mate, you've ruined the Lumiere for me now. Whenever I look at at that dial, all I see are urinal cakes

I just ran the numbers on the Lumeire on the strap. With included taxes (duty and MD state tax), it was $167 cheaper to order in GBP. That’s based on Mastercard’s current published exchange rate and no service fee on my card. Not buying it though. Still too rich for my blood!
Love the watch!! I just ran the numbers on the Lumeire on the bracelet for purchase in the USA. With included taxes (duty and MD state tax), it was $232 cheaper to order in GBP, but this is without the conversion fee that credit card companies usually charge. At $2,489 USD, it is still an expensive purchase for me.

There is a lot I like about this watch. There are some things that I really like. Having said that, I’m not in a rush to buy one. I think my preference would be for a blue one, which I’d likely wear on a blue and orange hybrid strap. I’d quite like the orange Aquaflex strap for another watch, so I’m pleased to see it in 22mm now.

Steve, for me, you win the forum today! Best I could come up with is that the orange dial could be christened "Fruit of the Lume"...
Thank you, sir! I ran the lights for that show just before Covid, brilliant memories!
@albionphoto and @manphibian Wil Brackfield mentioned in passing that CW are experimenting with hardness coatings in the R&D lab but there was nothing ready for this particular release. Suffice to say they are looking at it for future releases.

Others have said the same, either as a compliment or a dig, but I’d take it as a compliment either way.
VFM? I don’t know of much out there with a similar spec sheet for less or the same price. Considering all that you get with the package, it’s a solid buy. I need to see if it fits, as this could be my next watch…
The Delma Shell Star is quite similar and drops the COSC spec for 500 quid.
It wouldn't be £500 cheaper if it had the SW300 instead of the SW200 inside. That's +14hrs power reserve to the CW

Isn't CW opening up a showroom in the US? If so, would that not lessen the import fees?
