I love them both so far. I would also say that the one Mark sent me seems to glow better at night than the one I bought. The magnification window is a plus for me on the invictas as I couldn't see the date on the old watch I was wearing that doesn't have this feature.

nah, they both came in on the 9th. I wore the bigger one for a couple days and switched to the smaller one. I figured the bigger one would be more of a dress watch cause it's silver and gold plus big, and the smaller one would be better to wear at work since it is smaller and will probably tend to not get hung up on stuff while I am crawling around inside wrecked cars and whatnot. But maybe I am over analytical.

Luminox field chronograph in a jewelry store today. Lightly used and was a trade-in. A little bigger style than I like, but the price seems right - they're asking $400? Oiled,up,and shined up by the watch guys at their main store. Has original box and paperwork. Any inputs on this watch would be appreciated. I'm not a big collector.

$400 sounds on the high side for that watch, but I could be totally off. Just shooting from the hip. -(P

Retail new is in the range of $650. What is the range to expect for a "gently" used watch (ie 50%, 25%, ???)? Bonus is it was checked out by the jewelry store.

Any comments on Luminox in general would be appreciated.

I've had a luminox for years, it's one with the black pvd coated steel bracelet (USAF Stealth something or other). It's sitting in my display case needing a new battery. I like it a lot, just keep in mind that there is a limited life span on the tritium inserts, they will dull and eventually stop glowing.

Figure if the retail is $650, you should be able to buy new at 20% off = $520 and used should be 50% value at $325. Does the jewelry shop warranty the watch? If not, who cares if was "checked out"?

50% off for used sounds a little high for me. Not unrealistic, but probably not for very good-excellent condition watches. I'm with you on the "checked out" noise.
