The black face version (SBCJ019) looks so very sharp, but after a few black face watches, i thought something different was called for.  So I picked up the all luminova face model:

The gold markers were a drawback for me, as I wear no gold, but thought I'd take the plunge - glad I did, it's a striking watch that wears as good as it looks. 

The "throwback" nature of the watch is also interesting:
