Battle of the Lumes.

What’s the best lume on a watch you own?

Do you have any extra interesting lume colors?

One of my personal favorites is on my Bell&Ross, because of the sandwich dial, but damn that lume don’t last long.

Cheers and happy Monday to all!

The lume of the Lorier Hyperion is awesome. One of my faves!

My #1wc watch -- Zelos Mako Frost GMT. It's so bright, you can read the non-lumed date in the dark.

The blue and green together is a very fun touch!

I’ve always been intrigued by full lume dials. This one is spectacular, and calling it frost… *chefs kiss*.

Most of the "bigger" players don't do full lume dials. I wanted to try one which is why I went for this colorway as opposed to the Malachite green version, which was very tempting.

Deep Blue is so under rated. They have great lume. Also as you know Zelos is also a lume hog lol. That deep Blue full lume is a 2011 model Alpha Marine 500 with an ETA 2824-2 Mvmt. Awesome watch!

Hell yes! Zelos has been on my radar for a minute. Also I’m very curious about Zodiac and Farer - some of the Lume on the Farers is very interesting and unique!

I don't know why I'm so drawn to lume. Maybe something to do with a back-lit watch when I was a kid. Can't remember the model off hand.

·

I don't have any still lume shots but for me its all about the layout.

·

Why didn't I have any still lume shots? No good reason 😔

My next order of business is a full lume dial watch. That looks really swell!

My previous champ was my Steeldive SD1970, and the runner up was my Steeldive SD1953. Those dudes over there are freaking lume wizards.

On Thursday 6/22 I received my first Tritium watch, which I've reviewed on my profile; the Yelang V1213 Sea Overlord. Tritium is pretty much a cheat code for lume.

I went a bit nuts on watches this month and today, 6/23, I'm expecting a Citizen Promaster Diver, so I'm interested to see how its traditional lume compares to the Steeldives I own.

And I'd better hurry because more than likely on Saturday or early next week my Steeldive SD1975V is coming, which is gonna be badass because it's got an orange strap, with orange hour markers on a black dial. I'm a bit of a Halloween fan, so I can't wait to check that badboy out.

With the SD1975V I wanted to make sure that the lume itself didn't glow orange, because as cool as that would be, from what I hear once you stray too far from green (With blue being next best at about 95% as effective), lume becomes less and less long-lasting. Not that I've like crunched the numbers myself, mind you, just from what I've read.

I need to slow down on the damn watches, gang.

My Pelagos wins for sure, but I’m also glad to know I’m not the only guy that lumes up my whole watch box just to look at them all 😂😂

Ah man, you didn’t need to stoke the flames of my desire to own a Pelagos! That Lume is amazing.

Couldn’t recommend it enough! One of the pinnacles of my lume addiction 😂
