Unique Lume on White Milguass

Hour and minute hand glows green.
Orange indice glows solid blue.

Pretty neat.

IMO, I think they ought to have made the lume for the hour and minute hands with the same material as that in the hour markers. Might have been too much orange though under normal lighting conditions.

Crap, I had that in my hand about 2 weeks ago, but never checked the lume.
I just emailed my AD to see if she still has this one, or if she sold it.
The LUME might just sell me on this one.
But then again, I might hold out for green.
Decisions decisions.

Yep. None of the salemen at my AD know about this until mentioned.

I might just keep the MG and sell the EXPII white dial.

I would say that 99% of AD salespersons don't know about the 'blue lume' on the Milgauss.
The GV Milgauss has blue lume on the 3,6,9 markers and that looks awesome too (at least in the photos).
