Hands-On: Triwa Nevil
I came across Triwa on accident. I was browsing tumblr and this weird watch caught my eye. I took a closer look and thought, "wow, that's different". What I saw was a strange mix of classic watch elements, fashion colors, strange materials, and a price point geared towards mass-market consumption. Then I looked at the brand and thought, once again, "wow, that's different". A Swedish brand that makes watches, watch straps and sunglasses and presents them with the eye and direction of a fashion brand. Needless to say, I was intrigued enough to write and get a sample for review, which they kindly provided. The watch I received is a vintage inspired quartz chronograph called the Nevil that runs $285. It's available in a handful of colors, but I went for a classic mix called "The Havana", which balances silver, a few shades of brown and spot of orange for a nice 70's vibe.

So hoping someone more knowledgable can help me out.My first question is about the lume.Out of the box the watch appears to have none.It only glows after I hold it to direct light for a bit.If I wear it during the day, it doesn't glow at night....only if I charge it by holding it up to a light. Is this normal/common for a brand new watch?My second question pertains to the watch running a few seconds fast each day.I set the time to match the time.gov website24 hours later I see that it was 20 seconds ahead.Is this also normal, or something that I should bring in to get checked out.And lastly, my third question is about a watch winder.I wear this maybe once or twice a week. I don't mind the watch dying and then winding i

I know there really and no wrong answer here. I can only have one iconic watch. Thanks Fellas!

AT 38.5mm pic request
Hi guys.I was just wondering if any of you have wrist shots of a 8500 AT midsize on anything close to a 7.25 inch wrist.I'm about a hairs breadth away from taking the plunge but, since I live in a remote location miles from an AD, I'm considering my first ever Internet watch purchase. I've seen and handled the 42mm in the steel and liked the finish but not the size/proportions so it would be great to see a 38.5mm on a similarly sized wrist to mine.Here's a pic of my sub to give you some sense of the scale of it on my wrist...
