Lume Question

Hello All (again),

I just picked up my Explorer II yesterday, and maybe I'm colorblind, maybe I'm a tad insane, maybe I'm right (doubtful). But I digress, I wanted to check with you guys on the lume for my new Explorer II Polar.

To my understanding, it's supposed to have blue lume - the way I look at this, it seems green to me. Also, it only is lasting about 15 minutes or so before completely dying out. I really don't care too much about the lume, more just curious at this point.

Thanks for the input in advance!

Yes I agree. My 114060 looks green (granted I do have a colour vision deficiency). I've been told several times on here that the green on my watch (which matches your Explorer 2) is proper.

As for only lasting 15 minutes... This doesn't seem right. Perhaps before turning in for the night you can place it under a lamp, then after an hour check the lume. Make sure your eyes are adjusted to the dark though by this point.

Enjoy your beautiful piece!

Damien
