“So far the it’s been a great watch. It keeps accurate time and is easy to read, including the GMT hand. The tritium tubes are not super bright but they do allow you to read the dial in complete darkness. Overall, I’m very pleased with function and looks of the P-38 Lighting.”
“I was a little kid when Luminox first came out, and I've wanted one for 35 years. So when I saw this years Black Friday deals, I jumped on what I thought was the perfect watch. An homage to my favorite plane of all time, the P-38. I was, and still am very excited about this watch. But there are some very disappointing things for me.
The second hand: while not a deal breaker, it does not line up with the number marks. It's off just enough to be noticable, and there seems to be no way to line them back up
The GMT function: there's a degree of play there that happens from when in setting mode, and operation. You set it, and then it lags before engagement, leaving it to look off, and not aligned correctly.
The crown and case back: this is nit-picking, and I know it, but they're both upside down when compared to the rest of the watch.
It's still a very cool watch, but my borderline obsessive/compulsives still hang up on these issues.”
“Visually it’s really nice. But the watch lost time so I returned it. At this point I’m still waiting for the credit to be put back on my credit card. It’s been two weeks since they received it at their return facility.”
