Blinded by the LIght………..

In my opinion……The Pelagos has the best Lume than any of the watches I currently have.

It has spoiled me. I have a Panerai with a sandwich dial which has good lume that lasts through the night, but nothing comes close to the Pelagos.

Nice to see your Lume is good on your Tudor OP. I feel the best Lume I have on a watch is on my cheapy Stuhrling.

I noticed this Lume yesterday walking inside from having been out in the sunshine…

Pelagos is exceptional.

The hands are massive (yet balanced) compared to many watches.

I have the fxd.

The closest watches contending in the space would be the aquanaut line and the Panerai’s.

Speedy’s are real good at general legibility as well:)

Looking good but I think Seikos divers are on their own league
Also the Ploproof Omega and there are others too of course

My 30 year old seiko is still amazing and hasn't lost a bit of lume!
And my fxd is brilliant!

Pelagos is nice indeed as has the illuminated bezel insert, but there are also some other brands with that same feature:
