Looks great! Is there any difference in lume time, or do they both fade out after about the same ammount of time?

Thanks for this! What I'd love to see is a comparison shot after 1 hour, 2 hours,

4 hours, etc. Might be interesting to see if they 'fade' differently. Thanks again.

imo - i think the green lume looks right at home on 16610LV's maxi dial

Can't wait to see the blue lume in person.

But the above pic just shows both suit each one.

I don't know about actual time to fade but I can always read my watch (sub c) in the dark in the middle of the night, and that is without holding it close to a light source first (i.e. just normal wear). And yes the blue is neat imo.
