Need advice about explorer II old model 16570

Can anyone tell me whiat is the LUME like on a white face dial, is it visible at night, they do look nice I am drawn to the Explorer II 16570. Are these a good investment for the future. How accurate is the movement on these models. Like the dual time zone red hand

Assuming your eyes have adjusted to the darkness, it's very bright. At 4am, waking up and looking at my wrist its easy to tell the time. The same is true for an LV.

But at 11pm and just turning out the lights, I can't read either. It's not the lume, it's me/you.

If you want an investment, buy a CD.
If you want pure accuracy, buy a quartz.

A Rolex will hold value, but plan on some depreciation and you won't be disappointed. For accuracy, look up the COSC standard, if that's good enough for you then buy it.

Lume? 'Eh....there are better, which is strange, since it's for spelunking. But, movement accuracy and robustness is top notch.
