AP Luminosity

I know that our beloved APs aren't known for their luminosity, and I have never really paid any attention to it.

I just walked out into a dark night and happily noticed my 15400 shining at me...I've always loved its markers, but IMHO this takes it up another little notch.

Great pic!
My FC is more legible in the dark than I would have expected.

It's good for a short time, but overnight loses 'fuel' pretty quickly. One area I wish AP would get some longer lasting lume.

Agree. One of the few design flaws on the watch.

My SubC and 44 mm FC make it through the night OK
But neither are as bright as a Panerai 275 I had...
