Appreciate the Lume

If you’ve read Rolex’s 8 edition of the Rolex magazine featuring the Explorer, it has a very nice write up of the luminescence process on how the new lume is made. Here’s a pitch black shot of my Bluesy and it is hands down the best looking lume in the biz (after several hours out of any light), IMHO!

Let’s see some Lume shots!!!

I hate to say it my lume stinks. It doesn’t last very long at all. It is a dj36.it is the only thing I don’t like about the watch.

Same with my wife's new DJ31. Funny how my $50 Seiko alarm clock has better lume.

Realistic lume shot after a few hours since exposure to full light. 14060M



It's honestly not bad. I can read it in the morning when my eyes are night adjusted.

Totally agree! The lume on my new Bluesy is ok, but cant hold a candle to my Pelagos.

And then there is my Ball Deepquest. While not quite as bright initially as the Pelagos, it also doesn't ever fade. Untill its half life gets closer, anyway. lol.
