So I just received a DJF DJ 116234 and when I tried out the lume it showed that it has blue lume on the hands and green lume on the dial. This doesn't seem correct to me but I'm not able to find any lume shots of a 116234 datejust on the Internet.

Does anybody know if this is correct or is there maybe a version of 116234 that has this?

Sorry mate but the line is supposed to be the same on the dial markers and on the hands. I'm not aware that this is a known flaw of the DJF DJ, so that's something you may want to talk to your TD about

Yeah, that's what I suspected! The weird thing is that the DJF 116234 with jubilee comes with the wrong clasp aswell. It should come with a hidden clasp but it comes with a easylink clasp. That bugged me so I ordered an ARF jubilee but I can live with wrong clasp. The lume thing bothers the hell out of me!

As I understand it, the 116234 comes with a green lume? Can you comfirm this?

I'm not 100% sure so other more knowledgeable members please chime in,but I think the 116234 was using superluminova (green), and the 126234 is using chromalight (blue)

I think you're correct on that. I've contacted TD to see what he says about it. Too bad I can't be using this watch until it's fixed.

Some gen Rolex modes do this intentionally. A Datejust with a silver dial and purple lilac Arabic numerals mixes and matches the lume. I’m not sure why. But I googled it and saw these 3 different pics.
