Any ROO Panda Lume Shots?

Have some interest in a ROO Panda dial model and want to see if anybody has any lume shots. Ownership experiences are welcome too. Thank you

Hi. Lume is very weak. To be honest I was beginning to believe I had none then one night in a hotel room I noticed it. Have seen once or twice since but not often. Managed to scratch my bezel within days of ownership but has been clear ever since. Check screws are tight on the leather strap as one of mine dropped out resulting in me having to order a replacement and not wearing the watch for some weeks. Lucky I noticed it as if I hadn't it would have fell from my wrist to the floor. It's a lovely watch.

The black lume is pretty weak as stated above. I had took pics a long time ago but to be honest, they aren't practical as I charged the watch with LEDs for a while and then went into a pitch black room.

Wearing the watch normally and going into say, a movie theater, there is effectively no lume. It's nice to know something is there, but practically you should treat it like most other theme watches which don't have lume.

Do you mean color or brightness? I have a mini-photo studio setup with CCFL lights. The Panda was under the light for about 15-20 minutes. I shut off all the lights and took a long exposure photo with f2.8. Exposure was about a minute or so.

Hope this help.
