Finally owned a Rolex - what color should lume be?
Woohooooo after 6 years of dreaming, it has came true.

I own a M116610LN-0001. Should the lume be green or blue? Looks green to me.

I done a little research and see mix answers.

Thanks for the clarity. Finally a Rolex owner.

Posted a few pics for fun.

That's the right color, if you compare it with a watch with green lume side by side, it would look blue

Thanks gents.

I felt silly posting because it does look blue in picture but looked green in person.

Just wanted to check.

Thanks again.

These forums are always so helpful.

On its own Blue lume does look kinda green .. but if you hold it next to a watch that actually has green lume .. its becomes very obvious its blue ...

2 out of 3.....obviously the GMT is the older Pepsi hence the green. Hint for the last one is the missing luminous pip on the bezel
