Superluminova blue and green?

Hi everyone,

Is it correct for superluminova to glow blue when UV light is applied and the stays glowing green afterwards, when you remove the UV lamp?

Saw this on a 1999 16528 Daytona.

Thanks,

I assumed Luminova green and green refrain when UV / LED taken away and SL blue green and blue green refrain when UV removed when I looked at my pals L 16570 and SL 216570.

Both about 20-30 secs intense and then linear fade I'd noted.

I don't collect anything after 1999 so I might be off on the assumption mind.

Yeah. I don't either, but my query it has more to do with when you charge with UV, at the moment you have the lamp charging...is blue, when you remove it...it keeps glowing green. Is it correct? And apparently it happens to Luminova AND Superluminova. Because I've seen it on "swiss only" dials and "swiss made" dials. Because I thought it should be green/green...

Whitetish could be more appropiate. Thank you.

Then it's correct and normal.
