What kind of lum does the Daytona SS have .......

........compared to the sub or GMT?

Just curious to hear what the lum is like relative to some other SS sports models.
Obviously, I don't expect it to be anything close to a sub, but I'm curious if it's decent/good.

My new 116500 has notably better lume compared to my older 116520 but the Daytona lume as a whole does not come close to the Subs, GMTs or Exp IIs.

Much smaller and less lume on the Daytona.

The last models of the Daytona (116520 and 116500) have the chromalight lume but because of the small hour markers the lume surface is rather small and not comparable with something like the Submariner.
