Who likes Green.

Don't get me wrong. Blue Chromalite is great.



But sometimes I really like a nice Green glow.

Prefer blue. Except on grass. Green works much better on grass.

Ah great work and both will do just fine

For first time in long time, I'm lumeless...
Vintage Root Beer's Tritium is shot and the MOP Daytona dial/hands don't have lume - so your pics are a refreshing reminder...

Good shots of the sub and gmt, however, I'm a "new blue" fan.

I think blue on the 42mm Polar Explorer II is stunning. Otherwise green for me.

I love a good lume shot. Great work!

Since I am partially color blind, C3 lume looks white to me. And BGW9 looks really blue to me, whereas most others see it as greenish-blue.

So, personally, I like the intensity of C3 and the "white" color of it, but I simply love blue anything. That makes the blue a winner for me.
