I had been noticing a certain shade of color on the luminova paint. I was loving the idea of calling it patina. I know its not even 5 years old so that thought went out of the window. Today i think i figured out what is causing that color. I have noticed that the Luminova paint glows very light green once the watch comes out of the drawer and exposed to light ( by light i mean just natural light in a room and not bright light ) seems like the Luminova has become very sensitive to light and responds right away with a light color which almost looks like the watch has patina. But it is actually the Luminova plots glowing very light green. Has any one noticed that on their LV.

I only notice my glow in the dark and never under daylight conditions. I will say that it is quite bright when initially fully "charged" as you can see in this photo.

i am quite sure there is some kind of glow during the day in normal light conditions with no initial charge.

I notice my LV glowing in the day time quite often, all it takes is a little sunlight through a window to get it going.

No that is the regular green bezel.
It just appears black with the low lighting needed to capture the glow for the photo.
