DD40 Lume hands and hour markers
I have noticed the lack of what would appear to be lume markers for the hour hands and markers on the deconstructed romans as well as the diamond dials. From what I can tell only two dials have lume.
For those of you with the deconstructed romans or diamond dials, does this bother you? |

romans are not meant to have lume. The de-constructed romans are polished in a way to maximise the light reflection hence the bling.
If there was lume on them they cant achieve that. |

I can agree on how lume was withheld on the romans given its unique shape and cut but they certainly had the opportunity on the hour hands, although it seems like the hands match the deconstructed romans as well in pictures.

Don't have a DD40 yet but if I buy one it will definitely be with a baguette cut diamonds dial.

I thought it was only male jewellery - or is it a "tool watch"!

Yes silver and diamonds (extra €€€€!). I am afraid that my phone is my only camera so they are crap! Here you see it on Tuesday in Cologne Germany in the Rolex Boutique where I was trying on the Daytona in WG with diamonds & MOP - which one shall I buy Daytona with or without or get a GMT WG before it is (according to some ADs) discontinued?
