I never do.

WatchinMD · 6 March 2018, 10:23 AM

It is fun

Ben.McDonald7 · 6 March 2018, 10:27 AM

Quite often at night...particularly when I need a shot for a daily WRUW thread.

I have a high lumen flash light I carry in my car especially for charging my lume at night for the drive home . One of the quirky thing I love to do . My jlc and iwc chronographs have not so good lume .

I have several models of Ball watches that all have superior lume to anything in my stable. My Ball NEDU is ridiculous after hours! Much more so than my DJ II. Not a shot at Rolex, just my observation. Will see how they hold up long term. Been my observation that the Ball models plummet in value after the initial sale but the fit and finish seem to be superior to anything else at their price point. My .02 cents!

henrylee · 6 March 2018, 02:23 PM

Guilty as well

ZeKe · 6 March 2018, 02:25 PM

Sometimes before going into a movie theater.

watchmework · 6 March 2018, 02:48 PM

I don’t charge my lume.

Yobber76 · 6 March 2018, 03:04 PM

Yeah, I've done it.

phillycheez · 6 March 2018, 03:22 PM

Use a black light.. Much quicker charge

I charge my Tudor (or Seiko if I’m wearing that) in the kitchen every night before I go to bed. I love waking up in the middle of the night to look over and tell the time with some sweet lime. I never use my phone at night to tell the time because it wakes me ip even more

I tried to charge my Rolodex, but couldn't find the USB port.

Where is it?

Rolex fan 61 · 20 March 2018, 08:43 AM

Both the lume on my explorer and explorer 2 last all night so its not required.

holdtime · 28 May 2018, 03:25 AM

Guilty.

flamp · 29 May 2018, 07:47 PM

I have a GMT2 LN and the lume is only visible for 5 mins after charging. Any concern and what should I do? GMT2 random serial green lume. Dated 2016 but most likely manufactured years before.

I have charged the lume to watch it but not much any more.

Just to watch it glow?? Isn't that similar to watching paint dry?

Change your lume battery.

Psijason · 30 May 2018, 10:42 AM

I'm a lume fan. Get one of these. UV lights charge it up super fast. I saw a watchmaker use one once and ran and bought it.

Ben.McDonald7 · 30 May 2018, 10:43 AM

HogwldFLTR · 30 May 2018, 10:44 AM

I have and will again at some point!!!

Psijason · 30 May 2018, 10:46 AM

Lume!!!

1911 Man · 30 May 2018, 01:03 PM

Definitely!

I also love coming in from outside on a bright day, stepping into a lower lit or shaded room and seeing the glow. Wear your watch to Disneyland and go on Big Thunder Mountain, going from sunlight to pitch black and enjoy that Lume!

Check out the half life of a Tritium tube.
