BG W9 SuperLumiNova is a very cool, ice cold lume and totally rocks. I have a Deep Blue dive watch and it has lume out da ass and last the whole night. My favorite Tritec lume. It's fairly new to them.

Good post!

A forum member sent some of this new stuff I've never heard of before from Micron. On the right is the 10-20, and on the left is the 15-35. Both are course grain, with the 15-35 being really course. They are very yellowish uncharged, but have a good lume with a charge. Being that Rolex lumes are white uncharged I can't see how these would be very good for the Rolex reps. Also, being so course would make them a challenge to get smooth on the markers. You can see how lumpy the 15-35 is. I mixed them as always 1/1 lume and binder.

They look to be pretty darn bright though! Maybe not for Rolex reps but any other watch than has poor lume sure could benefit from this stuff!

How do they compare against the other ones you presented (aside from grain size)?

 

[Ruprekt]

The lume is bright, real bright. But the course texture makes it hard to get smooth unless you thin it down. Once you start thinning lume down you start reducing the brightness of the lume.

interesting comparison.. indeed, tritec lume is the way to go..

Wiz modded some GMTs with C3 tritec lume.. &its amazing!

kudos!

Watchbitz have lume now as well. I know it's good, I sell it to them

Can you do just plain white lume???

 

[rolopam]

Anyone use the product of watchlume.com recently ?
Quality is not better ?
the only good solution is still the superluminova ? Quite expensive

thx

 

[rolopam]

I hesitate between watchlume (not [email protected]) and kilabitzzz on eBay.
Both at ~30$

Quality will be like a low replica watch or better ?

Thx
