Have to agree with you completely.
I have a traser for nightwear and it's lume is unsurpassed. These Rolex lume shots are very pretty but I bet they weren't taken more than an hour after being charged by natural light or a torch.
This is probably not the place to say it but Rolex lume is not the strongest characteristic of the marque.

This watch is THE BEST!

All of my Rolex work OK over night if I charge them up with bright light. My Omega SMP with sword hands and Panerai are by far the best ones I own. They are crazy bright for a very long time.

gregmoeck · 31 March 2010, 03:39 AM

PoohAndPiglet , that is my next watch, that is so nice

my planet ocean lights up 10x brighter then any Rolex I have seen.

that said -
my new GMT-IIC is far brighter then my 16710 or Deepsea -
I have not compared it to a DSSD, which I assume should have the best lume.

100% right. I miss that the most when I think about the 2254.50 I gifted to my brother. I'd rather have the great white GMT instead since I already have an LV in my collection. Plus, the bezel always looked a bit "off" to me.

The Omega lume of the Bond and the Planet Ocean outshine any Rolex but still cannot compare with the old SMP:

But you might also want to check out the Omega PloProf complete with bezel lume:

Those new blue lume from Rolex looks really sweet. I like it better than the green.

Is the blue on the DJII chromalight?

PoohAndPiglet · 31 March 2010, 01:59 PM

The DJ II (Rhodium with blue arabics) has both green and blue (chromalight) lume.

I think the Mil GV is the only other Rolex to have both colors.

MagedMS · 31 March 2010, 07:57 PM

DSSD Blue Lume is the best..

Here is my Turn-O-Graph. If you charge it up it is pretty bright. I have also noticed that if you don't charge it, it is still bright enough to read if it is dark enough. I noticed on vacation that if there is a lot of ambient light or as you approach dawn, the room can be too bright to see the dimmed lume, but not bright enough to read the watch face.

I also have a Marathon SAR with the tritium tubes and it is very bright like the Ball shown by a previous poster. If you really want bright and reliable lume, you need to go to a watch with the Tritium tubes or a watch with a battery light source like Indiglow.
