Slate Spitfire
Dial looks great. Leather strap was low quality and cracked immediately. I replaced with a matte black stainless steel bracelet for $20, which greatly improved the look of this watch. Lume on arms and numbers fades in 20 min after charging with directly light from a flashlight. Painting with a coat of superluma will greatly improve this watch.

Stunning watch
The watch is stunning and with beautiful details as all of the AVI-8 watches I tried, the only bit missing on this one is that it's not glow in the dark, which is very helpful for pilots working in the night, apart from that it's superb

Slate Black
Very average, smaller than I realised against the online photos. The visibility of the hands to read the time is very poor. There is no lume again I guess that's my fault for not realising but on a watch this expensive I find that weird. Even after 4 wears the strap isn't in great shape, isn't very comfortable. As the watch is quite small ( for me) but still quite thick it ends up moving around on my wrist and sits at an awkward angle on my wrist bone.

Very hard to read dial.
The watch’s look is great but the color/luminous choice for the hands, numbers and markers make the watch hard to read unless you are looking at it directly. Also reading the watch at night is impossible, next to no illumination and what little there is does not last long.
