Hi Gert,

glad to hear about your soft spot for the 12h-bezels... in a world of 60'-bezels they are refreshingly different!

Sadly, the information provided on the various Traser/Luminox websites is sometimes incorrect and inconsistent. Traser UK, e.g., for a while gave the water resistance of the P 6500 as 200m, and they still claim that the back plate is black. I think they more or less just changed the pictures and number, and carried the technical details over from the S 3001. And you can find lots of other websites that give the WR rating of the P 6500 as 200 meters. One wishes that in the cyberworld we live in the marketing departments would pay closer attention to up-to-date information.

As for the Luminox 3900 series the official US Luminox website (http://www.luminox.com/catalog/catalog3.asp) indicates
"stainless steel plate case back secured with stainless steel screws" and
"double gasket crown/stem confers water resistance of 20 atm/200 meters/660 feet"
which does not read like either a screw-down crown or a thread-screwed back.

Best regards,

Crusader
