Some quick thoughts on the Night Train:
The NT is nice and beefy, but not overpowering. At 43mm, this is not a small watch, but yet you don't feel like you are wearing a tank on your wrist.
The dial is very nicely laid out. It is a simple and very legible military style dial, with the Zulu time window(not settable to a second zone) between 10/11 on the dial. This window consistently drew me to this watch.
The case is exactly what I wanted...whoever called it gun metal (Geoff?) nailed it on the head. It is perfect as to me, the all black cases are not my cup of tea, and this is a nice way to achieve a darker look.
The crown also has some heft, and I always like a crown with well pronounced groves/notches on a sports watch. The orange stitching works really well with the dial. I have the rubber strap as well and am also quite happy with it's design. Both possess what I believe is called the "barrel buckle," which to me looks like a railroad lever.

The lower profile bezel gives you that pocket watch look, and it is a nice compliment to my MoonPhase.
The lume is simply out of this world. I don't think I have ever seen anything quite like this before. The yellow and blue together really make this watch a thing of beauty in the dark!
The watch, like my Moonphase before, is extremely well finished. With the larger 43mm size and large second hand, you can see each tick within each second with ease under the 10x loupe. Also super cool.
I am glad to call this watch another winner, and the completion of my collection for now.
