HI all, i found my 126600 Second hand LUME faint,

is it normal? THANKS ALL !

The second hand has a much smaller surface area so could show less glow and because the second hand is normally constantly moving. It does not get constant direct contact with any light source like the stationary marker plots and slow movement hands.

The entire second hand does not lume, only the small circle at the end of the hand. Therefore, it’s normal for it to lume like the way it shows in your pic.

Shine a torch at second hand then test in dark again

It is normal and the reasons listed above cover it. Nice watch.

Mine is nice and bright. This photo was taken after being out in the sun for a while. As mentioned earlier. Take it out in the sun or shine a flashlight on it for a while and see if it brightens up.

Here is a picture of mine for comparison. The Lume isn’t fully charged in this picture.

It's normal. My Batman is the same as your second hand, only the round dot lumi.

Don’t sweat the small stuff

Here is my SD43. I had to shine my iPhone torch on it for a good few minutes to get it that bright. I don’t think so he Rolex lines are very good at all to be honest. I did expect more when I first picked up this piece
