Re: lume

Looks very nice! Can you or some elaborate a bit, how does it hold up during a night? Does it stay bright enough to read?

Never tested the duration to be honest but so far it hasn’t lasted more than about 15 mins. I might give it a longer exposure and see if that makes a difference.

So "wow" as in "wow, that faded quickly!"

Hate to say it, but all my current models with the chromalight glow fantastic blue, but they don’t last very long. The models I have with super Luminova do last through the night. Rolex screwed up on this.

I have a DJ41 from 2018, and the I can read the lume in the morning when it's still dark, but JUST BARELY! It doesn't stay bright for very long. But if you eyes are young enough you can read it. The hands are the hardest thing to see.

My watch's lume glows Green, BTW.

My Daytona lume lasts all night, YM and Daydate defiantly only last an hour or so. Always found it strange. That DJ looks great!

Have you got some data to back this up, because I have a Sub, a GMT, an OP, a DJ and they all last about the same, i.e. have run out and are pretty much unreadable in the dark after about 4 hours. :)

No data. I’m sure the application material is the same. The difference is likely in the surface area of the sticks vs. plots. I can see my (departed) SD and GMT throughout the night, whereas I cannot see my DJ36.
