Datejust Lumen 116200

I would like to see the lumen of a Datejust 116200 36mm. If someone has it and puts a photo in the dark I would appreciate it. I have a DJ 16234 and the lumen is very bad.


This is my 16234. It only lights up with sunlight, it does not light up with a light bulb

I have a 116200 the lumes are different. They do light up with artificial light and sun. They just don’t last that long. They charge very quickly with a black light.

ETA: instead of dots the Arabic numbers are longer. Like the hands

I just picked one up a couple months ago; lume is good IMO; not as strong as a sub, but much, much better than the image you showed. I would upload one, but am on vacation and did not take that watch. If no one has uploaded one by Tuesday, I will try.

I would say my lume lasts about an hour or two. It might be dim after that but nothing great. It is actually the only disappointment with the watch

Here is a pic of my 116200 lume this is after shining my iPhone light on it for maybe 30 seconds, which I do every night before I sleep. The lume on my modern Rolexes is legible in the dark all night, can be hard to read in dawn or twilight when discharged.

How long is a piece of string the high lume factor is mainly down to lume surface area, the larger the area the lume will seem to be brighter.
