White 15710 - lume on hour markers?

I've heard mixed reports about the white-dialed Diver models - are the dials lumed like the black dial model? Can anyone post a lume shot of their Diver?

Thanks in advance!

There is lume but it is extremely weak.

Thanks Serg- does the black have more surface area lumed? I'm aware the AP lume isn't quite as bright as Rolex.

Dials are the same. They just use black lume, which is almost non existent.

IMO AP Lume is weak, when I had my diver you hardly saw it. Saying that it was the first version. My rg44 has decent lume but nothing to brag about

I could just not be used to a high Luke watch, but To me, it's great on my 44. Def better than any Rolex I had, except my DSSD. Oh, and my BP FF was like a flash light at nite. Literally had to stick my wrist under my pillow it was so bright.

I have the black CE Diver. I can backup Hairdude1 that the lume strength is not close to Rolex levels, even on the black ones. If I wake up in the middle of the night wearing the diver I need some external light to tell the time. With that said, with just a little light the minute hand is quite easy to make out.
