Great review, thank you. I've got two Vaer watches, an A3 Tradition with weirdly under-lumed hands (they fade out long before the hour indices) and a D5 Pacific which I love. I got the A3 first, and the lume plots on mine are also off-center, but in a way that gives it some character and makes it seem older. It looks great on their tan canvas strap. It didn't bother me enough to keep me from buying a the D5 Pacific a few months later which lives on their tropic strap. The "faux" finish would bother me if this were a new thing, but they've been making tropic straps like that since the 50s or 60s, so by now it's a tradition.

Pics or it didn't happen! 😉

I know this is an older post, but I'm surprised by how few own these. They're awesome! I've got a 37mm trench and a Medic and couldn't be more pleased. Buy your own!
