x2 There's just something great about the blue color, and the ceramic reflects nicely.

Tom, I have to ask- what do you think of the blue compared to the old green/yellow lume? Easier to read? Equal? Prefer the old?

Hi Ronak,

owning both, I can say that the readability is very similar.
The old green lume is even a bit stronger at the very beginning, but I have the impression that the blue lume lasts longer, don't know why.

Anyhow, I like the blue better because it is a cool lume and fits perfectly with a cool watch like the 116610LN.

For the 116610LV, I would prefer to see the green lume.

Regards
Tom

Love the blue lume!

Can't say the same for the maxi case, in the sixth photo you can see how disproportionate the design is... or maybe I just need to get used to it..

Firefox doesn't seem to like the pictures; they don't come up.

Edit- Haha, my mistake... I didn't notice the link provided! Great shots!

Thank you all for your friendly comments!

Yes, it is a beauty, and I think it should become available now in many countries.
At least, there are more and more people around who recently got one...

Regards

Tom
