I note your praise of Lumtec watches. However my experience is somewhat different. In 2014 I purchased a Lum-Tec Combat B12 for my wife – an active 72 year old. For the first 3 months it gained 5 minutes a week and I returned it to Lum-Tec for adjustment. The watch came back and the problem was still not fixed. I returned it to Lum-Tec suggesting that there might be a problem with the movement and they returned into me saying that the movement had been replaced. Once back in Australia the watch continued to gain approx 3-4 minutes a week and I decided to let the matter rest. Now the sweep hand has come off and I am about to return it once again to the US for service. This is a ‘combat’ watch used by an elderly person! It costs me $45 each time I post it back to the US. Regards.
