New SS Daytona lume - blue?

Are the current SS Daytona's being shipped with BLUE lume?

Seen a couple of conflicting views in some threads with some saying they have a new blue lume, and some saying they still have a green lime.

Can anyone confirm whether its been changed to blue please? Thanks

When and where did you buy yours Sam? Any chance of pictures of the blue lume please?

Also could you post a picture of the green lume please watchwatcher so we can compare the difference? Thanks

My brand new SS White dial has the same lume as yours beshannon.

The blue is more aqua? Nice lume though!

Here's a picture of my lume. Looks quite blue to me, but sometimes looks a bit green too. Maybe looks greener with less charge?

I took a couple of new pictures and on where there is more light in the room the lume is definitely blue. Took another picture later in darkness and the lume looks greener. Is that normal with the blue lume? Or is it just that the lume needs more charge?

Cracking pic of the blue lume, love it, and yes it does look green in the second pic, must be to do with the lighting conditions etc ?
Have you tried an LED on the lume ?

Just use your phones flash light on the lume or if you have an led torch shine it on the lume, take a pic :-), post it up lets see it colour :-)

I'm partially color blind, so I can't tell you what color is on my G serial Daytona ... except that it glows all night after a 10-second halogen charge (but it really doesn't look blue to me).
