Jody does love his lume. That Erebus is bright!

The best way to settle a lume-war is to set up carefully:

  • Get a smooth, flat surface. A table leaps to mind.

  • Spread a sheet or something like a sheet (someone’s favourite skirt?) upon it.

  • Lume up your watches with a brutal direct sun roast of abuse (sorta for a warm-up. Like boxers warm up before a fight).

  • Take the watches off any strap or bracelet.

  • They might be hot from the sun BE CAREFUL.

  • Be sure the room with your prepared surface of choice is really, really dark.

  • Rush into the darkened room and ask a friend or family member to shut the door behind you quickly.

  • When you bump into the table you’re good.

  • Hold the competing watches in opposing hands, lume FACING YOU.

  • Check the lume.

  • Close your eyes and bash the watches together until you just can’t stand it.

  • Now open your eyes.

  • Which watch looks better now?

  • Declare a winner!

Or not.

Should I take and put them in a octagon or the square circle as they pound it out.

The traditional venue is a depressing, clapped-out wooden seaside hotel during the off season. Those old ballrooms work wonders regarding ambiance, believe me.

And, you can “run” several tables at once, in shifts if you have a good turnout! I assume you’re planning a convention?

May I come?
