Riley,
I too also had a Citizen Eco Drive titanium, the world timer to be exact, but gave it up for the Luminox because of the weak luminosity of the citizen. I emailed citizen and suggested that they implement tritium vials on the hands of their watches. So far, no response.
I really used to be concerned about the Navy Seals printing on the face of the Luminox watch. Now, it doesn't really matter. I know a Navy Seal and he thinks its cool but has never seen any of his fellow seals wear one. In fact, he said it was too expensive and heavy compared to what he uses, a Casio.
Information provided by the website called the Military Watch Resource once suggested that the Luminox watches had inferior mechanical movements compared to the military issue watchs by Stocker and Yale and Marathon but some generous, brave and curious soul opened up both watches and found that both military issue and the commercial version had the same Swiss Rondo seven jewel movement. I think the conclusion was that the military watch is still more coveted but FAR, FAR rarer and also A LOT more expensive.
BTW, I bought my luminox with stainless steel band from Botach for $159. If you wait you are likely to get that price again but be aware that the availability may vary. Also when I called botach to confirm my order, they were somewhat incompetent. I did get my watch though.
