nice watch. lume looks good. I think the lume on my BLNR is the one weak point.

Outstanding watch. An eternal classic. Good on Rolex for making the necessary tweaks to the 39mm version this year. (Actually, last year.)

One question: is the lume really that blue, or did the OP tweak the hue in that lume shot? The lume on my SubC is more of an aqua, rather than cobalt. I would have thought the Chromalight would be the same on all models that have it.
