CONFIRMED!!! New GMTc 116710LN has new BLUE LUME!

[nixmazda]

I just receive my new GEN 116710LN and have been more than happy with it. Well yesterday I walked in from outside, looked down and saw a very familiar color lume to my 116610! I was assuming it was going to be green, as it has been since its introduction. Well surprise surprise...

I know the new GMTc with the black/blue bezel has the new blue lume...but here is confirmation that the all black bezels do as well!

The one on the right is a brand new one at an AD that I took pictures with it next to this morning. The piece on the left is mine. BOTH are random serials!

And some solo shots of mine...

I appreciate the comparison. But you went to an AD wearing your rep AND took pictures of them side-by-side?

Is there a popcorn-eating smiley around here? Someone is going to get :spank:

Bonus right. Mine is only a week old and has blue lume and the one that is at the AD brand new is green lume.

Which dealer did you purchase from? ~TIA

Mine is GEN...not a rep. I purchased it from a reputable AD

The ceramic series..across the board is Blue C4 Superluminova....

That dial is also a MAXI dial, MAXI hands....with subs the TT 116613LB is Blue dial
116613LN is Black dial.....maxi dials, ceramic bezel, BLUE LUME...

The Explorer II's the new series BLUE C4 too as the DSSD etc.

You gotta back track to the Ms and Zs and F's to find C3 green...I think

That is completely incorrect. The GMTc 116710 has been green lume since its introduction in late 2006.

Hmmm really? You gotta watch out for me... sometimes I get shit wrong

I confused the Submariner I think icard2: ya never know....gotta watch me

Here's a few shots of mine next to 5 other Gens. Mine is the furthest left, there is another brand new one next to it with the new blue lume and the other 4 are brand new as well but have green lume! This absolutely confirms that the new GEN 116710LN has blue lume.

kewl.
this should definitely give the tools over on trf something to get their panties in a bunch over.

Rolex is changing all their line to blue "Chromalight" lume from now on, at least for the sport models.

The 2013 Daytonas will get the blue lume too, as the new Platinum Daytona has got it and all the rest will follow.

...About the Datejusts and Day-Dates (I & II) it´s not known yet.

Cheers,

My bad! Again, I appreciate the shots.

 

[Timewellspent]

to get things clear the new 2013 gmt II have blue lume but all models prior have green lume, correct?

this is correct - people getting brand new 2013 daytonas of all stripes (arabic dials, stick dials, etc) are getting them with blue lume, all the yachtmasters have blue lume now, gmt's, etc.

So wait, you mean to tell me the newest "super lume" from dealers is actually wrong?
