14060 random serial number lume
For those of you who own a random serial number 14060 what is the lume like as far as duration during the night?
I know that it is green, just interested in how well it can be seen after 5 to 6 hours. |

Mine is a G serial and the lume is pretty much non existent at the 5 hour point. I don't believe that this generation of Rolexes are known for their lume. My 6 year old Omega Seamaster blows my Sub away in the lume dept. Not a complaint mind you, it's just that way.

If its a random serial its a 14060M which could have green or even blue lime depending on the persons eyes.Myself have never bothered to check the duration of the lume at night because at my age I need all the sleep I can get.Now depending how strong the light was to charge the lume first,and depending on how dark the room would expect it to show some brightness for several hours.
