Its green

I notice something today about my watch that made me very happy.

I changed the dial and GMT hand on my GMT 116713 two weeks ago. My old dial and GMT hand had green lume which I loved since green is my thing. I changed the dial from a GMT 116718 and it had the blue lume, but beggar cant be choosers so I accepted it. I also changed the green colored GMT hand to a gold GMT hand, I could swear that when I got the watch the lume on the new GMT hand was also blue lume. But today I notice its actually green

Im so happy... thanks for letting me sharing my green experience with ya all.

Great you got the dial and now you can easy distinguish between the moving and fixed parts in the dark.

I actually like it – I just hope you have also kept the original parts so that the watch can be returned to factory condition come service time!

Looks cool. Green is my thing as well, just haven't decided which Rolex I want with green on it. I have come to LOVE the GMTs

Very nice. Definitely looks easier to read the time at a glance in the dark.
