2009 Explorer II Polar with SuperLuminova?
 
I probably should've posted this thread here first.

I've had my 2009 Explorer II Polar (3186 Movement, V Serial, LT clasp code) for a while now. I just noticed that the lume is definitely more green than blue... especially when comparing to the Chromalight of my SeaDweller 4000. The hands and dial match.

I was under the impression that Rolex switched to Chromalight in 2008.

Any thoughts?

Looks even more green than the image shows. Did some 2009 watches still have SuperLuminova?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...52b4cc2d15.jpg

No 16570 ever came with Chromalight, so you are mistaken. They moved to Chromalight on the 42mm models.

Replacement dials also have super luminova, no chromalight.

Green is good on your V serial :thumbsup:
