About the best one I was able to get

Fantastic lume

The luminous indices are sooo huge

It is a shame to see cheaper watches having better lume than rolexes

You're right Velitsko. Here's a pic for comaprison. Granted it isn't a maxi dial.

Ok after some critical thinking here is what i've found :

We all know that rolex is all about tradition and always sticks to it's history and what made them successful as a brand that's why they have a classic and conservative look and bla bla bla

So why didn't they come up with some new sort of luminescence ?

Rolex lume was always crappy in the first place and since rolex sticks to it's tradition and history they gotta have a crappy lume cause this made them earn the title of the crappy lume luxurious watch brand

So as a result even crap helps us make history and tradition

Hey watch it buddy, who you callin' crap or crappy?



I agree with you guys, this is one area, Rolex can definitely improve on.

Nice lume shot and nice watch, Paul, how about a wrist shot buddy? How big is it compared to the Sub?

Thanks Jason You know I'm not sure if it's a 42 or 44mm but it wears very comfortable. It also sits higher on the wrist than my Sub. Either with the rubber strap or the bracelet, it's very comfortable. I just think it looks better on the strap

Here's a wrist shot of it on the bracelet. Sorry that I don't have any of it on the strap yet.

[jasonbellevue]

Cool. It looks like a 42 on you wrist. I have to try one on myself.

Now come on chaps, I never understand this "crap Rolex lume" subject. I have a 16600 & a YM & the only complaint I have of the lume is in the cinema. After a while it goes from looking like LED's to zero. But indoors, when I need to look at either dial at whatever time each one is clearly visible. If I leave either on my bedside cabinet, both stay nice & green & visible all night.

the monster sure glows!

[kcmo]

Great lume!

[JJ Irani]

Great shot, Paulie.....but when I read the thread title, I was expecting a NSFW warning sign!!

[HockeyBrand]

Great pics! I think the Monster is a necessity to every WIS's collection.

I'll wear it in the shower, ina sauna, washing in a sink, at the local pool....etc.

My Monster on a Maratac NATO

[Jimbits76]

That black monster looks like i9t could kick the $h1t out of other watches.

As for the Lume, Rolex lume is crap, we all know that but if you want a watch to see in the dark with go with Luminox or Traser or something for about £100...the lume on those is bananas!

My lume pic is nothing to write home about, but at least I got one!



Here's another photo of one excellent watch!
