Lume power

Anyone notice some models have a much higher lume than others?

For instance the lume on my 233 blows my 422 away

Or maybe just the lume on my 422 is bad?

So the 422 being much weaker than the 233 is normal?

Hmmm, that's interesting. My two PAMs are both ecru, as will be my third in 16 days (not that I'm counting ) and they lume like nothing I've ever seen.

I guess this means I'll have to buy a fourth PAM now, a non-ecru piece, just for, um, you know, comparison purposes, like, or research into the brand. Or something. I can always tell Mrs Van D that some big boys (Cru and Nick) made me do it and ran away. Yes, that should work!

Very interesting info guys...... I would not have thought there was a difference between the two, but makes sense when you think about it.

I don't even want to show the lume on my 531. Really low in my opinion. I look at my Sub's lume and Panerai 531. No comparison. I also don't feel confident about jumping in the water with the 531. I think maybe I'm just paranoid.
Oh well, but I like that 531's looks! Women do too!
