Default Commemorative Luminox Watches FS for charity

The Allegheny Region (Western PA) PCA www.arpca.com is celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. Also, Porsche is the marque of the year at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix. www.pvgp.org The PVGP charities are the primary benefactor of ARPCA's donations. This year, the club hopes to get 1000 Porsches to the event to raise as much money as possible. To raise additional money and to commemorate the anniversary and the marque the club is offering a commemorative watch for sale. Please join us for a fun weekend and purchase a special watch for a good cause.


LIMITED EDITION ARPCA 50th Anniversary Swiss Watch by Luminox
Luminox Field Day-Date Blackout Watch.

We need to Have a significant Pre-Order Commitment to make the deal possible.

This is a unique opportunity to own a limited edition Luminox / ARPCA watch in commemoration of our 50th anniversary. Only 100 will be produced. Luminox is the choice of Navy Seals and also a major Porsche supporter.
Here's the deal. This watch retails for $450.00. As one of our members works with Luminox, you can purchase this watch, with our custom 50th anniversary logo, for a pre-order price of $275.00. That is not a misprint! After the pre-order period, if there are any watches available, they will be sold for $350.00.

The sale of these 100 watches will generate $5000.00 toward our donation to the PVGP charities. But, we need to know immediately if you would like to purchase one or more of these as custom watches take a few months to produce in Switzerland.

If we get a strong number of pre-order commitments [60 or so], the club will place the order for the watches. You will be notified if we have enough support to place the order and if so, you will need to send your payment in immediately. If we do not get the support needed, the watches will, unfortunately, not be ordered. In a PVGP planning meeting, 10 of the watches were already pre-sold! So if you want a highly unique LUMINOX / ARPCA watch at a great price AND want to support the PVGP charities, let us know asap if you'd like to purchase a watch.

The watch is the new “Field Day Date” blackout watch from Luminox. This handsome piece features a 47mm steel case with black PVD coating and a sapphire crystal. The crown is a screw-down unit and the watch has a Swiss quartz movement. The strap is black leather with a dual tang buckle. Water resistance to 600 feet. World's best illumination system - Night Vision Tubes good for 25 years. Used and endorsed by the US Navy Seals.

By the way, Luminox is a frequent sponsor for Porsche race cars. Check out Jeff Zwart's Pikes Peak Class Winning Porsche GT3.

This looks like it may be the one but it looks slightly different from yours:



I'm interested but I'd like a better idea of what the watch really looks like.

Randy, here is a pretty good pic and the link to the Luminox site. They make several Day/Dates. The subject watch is the "black out" model of the one you posted.

OK, it's the A1879 BO (Black out):



Can I get one without the Porsche logo?

Ah, well. The logo detracts from the whole black out theme for me.

Best of luck on this fine endeavour!
