The Magic of Lume!!

[Sandblaster]

My 1995 16570 never stood out to me one way or the other.

When I got the 216570 what stood out immediately is the blue lume.

And here is why the polar white dial is really so amazing on this watch - in the bright light my dial is white on white. When i hit shade/shadow etc etc i'm looking at glowing blue jumping out of the white dial.

My LV the blue lume looks kind of green. It's the green dial that does that.

On my LN sub or BLNR you can easily tell it's a blue lume against the black dial.
But it doesn't pop. It looks bluer than the LV, but it still doesn't jump out at you - even with the blue cerachrome color splash against it.

I'm going to assume as well on the black dial 216570 it doesn't pop the same blue. Floating hands, sure.

But that white, though
