Very bright. If you should ever find yourself at 3,000 feet on a dive, at least you'll be able to tell what time it is.

Sure, I'm shooting in low light and with ISO 1600, f/4,5, shutter 1/4 sec.

What is the expected life-span of the luminescence on this dial?

The lume will die the same day you make the last payment on the watch

Looks great, but how soon after a light charge were the pics taken? Right away I bet.

Outstanding! I really like that new blue. I wonder, is it the same on the new GMT II?
Cheers,

The DSSD uses Rolex's chromalite while the IIc uses superluminova. To me SL appears more intense initally while CL seems to have a bit more staying power.

Great shots...how long did you have to charge it before getting the shot or is the blue brighter than the "standard" green on the new MaxiDials?

I take comfort in knowing that my skeleton will be wearing a dry watch if my body ever makes it to 13,000 feet beneath the sea! ;)
