I have a watch being relumed with Superluminova grade A at the moment and these pictures look great very close to Gen.

Gen is on the left. ;) w9 done by me is on the right.. So Rolex lume isn't "all that and a bag of chips" lol same results with my gen dj ii Arabic numbers vs W9. I need to go do lume work for Rolex... Ugh have them contact me!! Jk :p but the explorer dial gen lume isn't as bright and doesn't last as long.

SL usually lasts all night while I sleep. So 6-12 hours probably until you can't see them anymore. But different pigments are all different. C3 can last for ever!!! Haha jk but maybe 24 hours in pitch black. My c3 lumed watches are always glowing since they will charge off room lights and be visible in the dark.

Thank you sir! Funny thing is I can't draw or paint to save my life but I can tattoo a dial with lume! Applying lume is like applying a tattoo. I think more like a jail tattoo dip needle in ink and poke at the skin. Same idea but I'm not in jail hshaha and its lume not ink. :)
