Good evening, need some help with my lume on my rolex.
Is there some special lighting you need to bring the lume out !!!!
on my Daytona i don't have this problem only on my tt Yachtmaster.
Does it make a difference if it's not worn alot.

Any Suggestions, POLO

I don't think Rolex is known for great lume. For me, natural sunlight during the day works pretty well, and if I wear my watch to bed, I'm able to see enough to tell the time ...not bright, but bright enough, I suppose. I normally take my watch off at night, so it's not a problem for me. Otherwise, holding your watch up next to a strong light source for 30 seconds or more should do the trick for a good 8 hours.

It is what it is.

Rolex isn't known for great lume...I think they want it this way because the indices could look white and not green.

You want great lume, buy a Luminox or Ball.

I have both and wear them if hunting, camping or
doing going away and know seeing time in the dark is
important to me. (digital would make more sense but I
just don't like em!)

Otherwise its a Rolex....

expose it under the sun little bit longer and you will see the lume...needs to capture more light to have the lume glow brighter..

i used a storng light and it actually held it's charge for about 2 hours, but given the fact you can put it over a strong light and leave the watch there it should lume pretty good at night.
