I just bought a luminox watch, i hope it isn't junk...😢

uh.......uh

I’m doing the same thing with mine thanks to you! I also smoothed out the magnet to prevent catching on the blade

I have 3 sea turtles. Two 0321 and 39mm 0300. I heard they take a Ronda quartz movement which is like $26…. Why does Luminox cost so much money yet have a $26 movement in the watch… it’s like Walmart watches yet I still have them. How do they get people to still buy their watches despite knowing the truth about them..

I have that same exact Luminox Recon. It's been my daily beater watch for years. The watch itself is great, but the rubber strap is garbage.

im a little confused, in their website they have like 30 kits, looks like the only thing that changes for the most part is the plug size, large and small and different lengths. Do you happen to know what is the best size plug for a normal sedan large or small?

Very informative video. Nice delivery and presentation as well. Bravo.

Nice video👍🏻

I like a knife with otf push a button and it comes open quickly

I like push knives you can use two push knives

Looks good

Very nice modifications!

Lum-Tec watches tick a lot of boxes

After watching videos and reading reviews for a few days, it seems obvious the movements in these watches are reliable for the most part, but the lume fails long before the said 25 year projected life, and other problems crop up along with incidences of poor reliability and poor factory service that make me conclude the luminox brand is way over priced way over rated and there are other watches costing less that give better reliability and so on for far less money. Just stamping navy seal on the back doesnt guarantee a top quality watch

Looks great...... I plan on adding some finger grooves on mine.

I have had several Luminox. One issue with crown coming off and one that gets moisture under crystal. Sent one with crown to RI repair shop and they told me they would have to replace full works. $125. I paid $140 for it. said, forget it. The one with moisture I have had siliconed or some waterproof gunk around crown stem, but moisture still enters. I really like the Luminosity for night time, bedroom. If you look around you can find these $300/400 watches for half price or less . I do landscaping so I put them through the rigors. In general, they keep working. I continue to purchases them when I see a Smoking Deal. Thanks David!

Awesome

I have the old navy seals with plastic case, and I have another navy seals with steel case. I bought both of them a long time ago when they were well used and pretty beat up. I've changed batteried numerous times and they keep running fine. The tritium doesn't glow as bright as it did but it is enough that I can easily see it when my eyes are acclimated to darkness. All of mine are well over 15 years old now. I wear one or the other every night, and I wear them sometimes during the day as beater watches. I think the new prices are a little high for what you get but the selection in new watches with tritium is somewhat limited. I have another Luminox, a larger stainless steel diver watch but not in the navy seals look. It is also pretty old, has had numerous battery changes, and still runs well.

Cold steel drop forged push knife for the win. It's very sharp un like the safe maker. I have a safe maker as well and I cannot get it Sharp due to it is not a true chisel grind it is something I've never seen before. The backside of the blade is not flat it's curved.

Hi David, I curious do you end up adding a chisel and an awl in the tool? I liked your opinion in it :)

Dcs570b

Didn’t know there was a thicker one till now, got both the middle and the rough construction one which is what I needed . Oh well got 2 different ones and wouldn’t be bad to have a finer one!

Sweet! I cut my finger grooves between the scale holes.

Love my mercworx seraphym

you have the same voice as elon musk

Don't expect any guarantee on your watch, I've got one that is 4 months old and one of the gears is already broken....customers service is zero, I have to pay 175 dollars to get that fixed-

Really cool design!

Bro get to point faster

I clicked on this video because it was SUPPOSED to be about pushdaggers .....:(

Really good job 👍

I just ordered that Fred Perrin push dagger you have in the middle there. Flat, metal only with no scale material to make the knife print too much under shirt. I carry larger conventional knives clipped to my right pocket, but the push dagger neck knife is a blade I can have at all times. Even in the shower.

I'll let them work the bugs out some more. My Surge is still capable. Probably have a look in summer or by end of year. Might be cheaper then too😂

Great video 📹!!! I carry the spartan on special occasions. The crkt every day and the combat folder for about 15 years. Thank you!!!

I should use a 24mm nato, you are using a 22mm on a 23mm watch. Better use a mm more for protecting the pins

👍

Personally I have a soft spot for Luminox and wear a 3583 chronograph daily. But the brand has gotten a bad reputation. There was a class action suit for selling watches that fogged under the crystal. The speculation is that they cheaped out on gaskets and didn't bother properly testing. I've also heard that servicing these pieces is a nightmare.

The only perfect Luminox is with carbonox +

UHMMM

The battery exploded ? Good lord.

Awesome modification you did with your Hold Out XL 😊

Osss

Good grief! Where’s Leatherman on this issue? Why hasn’t Leatherman made some kind of statement about the cutters? Where’s Leatherman’s quality control? Leatherman is asleep at the wheel again! Buying a $230 tool, receiving it, and then having to fix issue / make mods to make the tool work correctly is ridiculous!

That’s the dumbest mod I’ve ever seen. Why spend 240 dollars on a multitool and just make it a p4?????

It's always cool to mod a Knife to your personal taste, in my opinion; well done. :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

the 578 maintained audibly higher blade speed through the cut (with the same battery)

Im interested in getting a Luminox. Do they gennerally use good movements? They seem like a good qualty brand.

Never ever be a first adopter. Wait 12 months for the issues to be resolved then jump in…..

Have that exact watch. Stopped working. Before that tthe hands fell off inside and jeweler broke the tritium on the min hand. Still got like 6 of them

I like your Cold Steel collection. It's funny that I was playing with my Safe Maker 1 and CRKT SPEW when I started watching this video.
