New to the forum. My Day-Date 40 and Yacht Master 40 and some questions
Hi guys new to the forum. Got my day-date 40 last year and just picked up a Yacht Master 40 from a local AD. Got an amazing deal for a AD basically a few hundred more than the lowest grey market so figured why not pay the slight premium for a fully authorized model and the fact that I saved on the sizing fee .
In regards to glow on the yacht master dial how much light does it need to fully 'charge up' to get it to really glow bright? It seems like if I keep the watch in a dark room and then reintroduce it to some light its hard to get it to glow afterwards. It just seems very dim unless it has been in a lot of light for a while. Is that normal? |

Both great watches. I don't know how long but usually I feel like natural sunlight is best. On very sunny days my lumes get super bright when in the dark.

Sunlight really does the trick for getting the lume to go.

Two great watches, congratulations.
as others have said natural sunlight is best for "charging" lume.

For indoor lighting you have to hold the watch right up to the light for the same sunlight effect, both great watches, welcome !
