Bright lume recommendation?
Can anyone recommend a QUARTZ watch with lume so effin' bright that I have to cover up the watch in a darkened theater, and when doing so I can feel heat emanating from the dial? Or it's so bright that it can be detected by satellite imagery? Or the Navy SEALs or Army Rangers will not permit the watch to be worn during night missions?

Holy crap--that captures it! What watch is that?
Look at Wise and Signum. They win the lume wars.

I built it. Seiko NH36 inside and a now discontinued CT-817 dial by Crystaltimes.

Probably one of the best... My Marine Master with the 7C46... Is torch but the SWC diver is right there too
Honestly, you’d want to look at a Seiko Solar Quartz diver, the Citizen Promaster Sea is quite stellar (I own one personally). While not as bright, the constant lume from the Marathon GSARs are very impressive.

As a builder of watches, may I pick your brain, as this may be an interesting project I would like to attempt: build my own super-lume watch.

It's really fun. Just take your time figuring out what model you want to try for and seek out videos on YouTube pertaining to watch assembly.
