Absolutely no LUME on this Rolex, but do you think the owner gives a hoot??

There you go, guys.

No strips of Luminova in the hands - all 3 hands solid 18K gold......and no Luminova in the markers - diamonds for lume!!

But with a watch like this, who the hell cares about Lume?

I'm sure the reflected light from the bling is enough to light it up so your wife can see the time.

Yup. Who need lume when you have diamonds and gold?

Lume is tacky, anybody that owns a Rolex surely has a back-lit cell phone in this day and age if knowing what time it is is your only desire.

I doubt it, Leo........he's only been used to seeing chicken, beef, ham, leg of lamb, an Exp-II, a TT GMT-IIC, a YM Platty and a Sub so far..........so a "bling bling" watch will be a bit of a shock for the poor old bugger!!!

Very classy just like its owner. No lume needed, it's not a tool watch.

Well JJ that is a beautiful piece indeed! That is pure class. Just enough bling, but not too much.

I'll BET she doesn't mind!!!

Heck, the lume went out on mine way before I bought it. I couldn't care less.

If I want my wrist to glow in the dark, I'll wrap one of my 2yr old's glo-sticks around it.

The stickers are long gone, Paul.........those pics were taken on the very first day when she got the watch.
