2016 GMT II Lume Color?
Hello everyone,
What is the correct lume color for a GMT II Ref 116710LN dated for 2016? I just purchased purchased a watch from a seller on this forum and the color to me it looks more greenish rather than blue, though it may just be my eyesight. Here is a picture of the watch in complete darkness after using my phone's light to charge it: |

Looks okay to me. Rolex switched from a green to a blue hue some time ago so this should be consistent across the models.
For example below is a screenshot from a Youtube video of a 116610LN Sub which match your lume colors very closely. You can also find various threads on TRF that compare blue and green lume: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=107747 https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?p=3955434 |

My 2012 SS GMTIIC had green lume. Yours is blue. I keep forgetting to check my 2014 GMT.

That's blue. Think it was either 2013 or 2014 when they switched over to blue lume. But then again, that date on the card is the purchased date and not the manufactured date.
