Show us your day lume shots
I always love it when the lume comes on during the day after the briefest bit of sunlight hits the dial. This is my Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman earlier today. Show us your favourite shots.

My journey to becoming an avid watch fan and later collector started waaaay back when I got a little toy watch for my 4th birthday. That little blue watch (see profile pic) is where it all started and...

That’s a lot lume for a day shot

Just walked into the kitchen with the lights out and it lit up, so had to take a quick shot. Pretty happy with the lume on this Hamilton as they aren't usually this good
Love the Circula. Great colour combo😍

Thanks it’s a fun watch and that’s probably my favourite lume shot of all my watches.

I can see why. It's a beauty 🎯
Stunning pic!
Sweet! Lume shot thread 😄
Here is a few from me:
Sinn 856 UTC - I love lumed numerals on a watch.
Longines Spirit Zulu - again lumed numerals
Navitimer ref. 806 - yet another one with lumed numerals
Wow, three very cool watches you have there and all of them showing their daytime performance 😀 I love the Sinn and have the Zulu on my list as an alternative for a BB GMT (I could go either way on those two). And the Breitling is an absolute classic. Well done sir!
Beautiful watch and an equally impressive lume

Thank you sir 🤝

Thank you for your kind words 😄
Luckily it’s still dark indoors for the Bausele Ocean Moon IV
Bausele is from my neck of the woods 😍 You don't see a lot of them around. How do you find it?
The Seikostein in all its glory.
Very nice mate!
Aragon DIVEMASTER 4 EVO
It's my Divemaster brother 🤝
I often leave mine under a skylight and find it glows day and night. Wing certainly went to town on these 💪
My 1998 OMEGA Seamaster Professional 2561.80 in my bedroom
If a perfect watch exists the Seamaster must be pretty close to claiming that title. Absolutely beautiful 😍
That's some retina burning lume you have there. I'm not familiar with the Pentagon brand so will have to keep my eyes peeled. 🎯
They are a military kit supplier but this watch has decent spec: Japanese quartz, 200m WR, sapphire crystal, ant reflective coating and you can pick them up for £200 or less if you search around.
Great shot!
Love it. I reckon that logo would look pretty cool if they lumed that up.
Exactly my thought 🎯
Didn't use any juice on mine, I save the UV light for the night shots. Love the Seiko, great watch!
Ah - sunlight! That was my missing ingredient this morning! 6:30am dark commute to a 7am coffee in dark rain - the slight lume glow in previous pic was from night before.
Now home from work, can show some better pics!!
Cheers re the Seiko! - yes the LX is my fave.
It slays all my other seiko divers on Lume (and accuracy, Ti lightness, etc) and makes my Swiss dive watches seem virtually unlumed in comparo, sadly they fade too fast.
At night - guess which one is LX below, among the other 4 other bright divers (other models not in order are seiko king turtle, Aquis, Cap Cook, Zodiac)
the same desk lamp above these watches, but the LX (short for ‘lux’ , meaning ‘brightness’) crushes the others on initial brightness - and an even more on longevity
here it’s lume is pushing through intense sunlight:
And back inside after seeing the sun:
Daughters nickname for it is ‘the spotlight’ 😂

Very cool mate. Your daughter has nailed the nickname 😁👏👏👏
Great #lume of your #diver watch
Your dog doesn't seem impressed by the lume, so you might need to have a word before the next walk 😂
Seiko lume, what else is there to say. 🎯
She was more concerned with the treat she just got for being a good girl. Trust me, she'd be trying to jump up in the pic, if not for the treat. 😂
My camera doesn't pick it up but the 12, 3, 6, 9 markers are green and the rest are blue
The lume on this thing is spectacular during the day.

Sure is. An absolute stunner 😍
