Guys, Does the PAM243M markers and hands (Hmaker or Noob) look green when Lume is -UNCHARGED-?
Id seen a million of rep pics and IMO they look overly green, My workmate has a GEN and it looks off white most of the time.
I'd like to order this watch, perfect balance of size, weight and character, but I am afraid of the hulk green paint factories use to imitate the fantastic GEN Lume.
I just relumed my 029 for this sole reason and the waiting time took forever!
Please advise , thanks.

Good question! The "H" factory looks too tall and too lime green to me. ( almost like bubble shaped). The Noob, and in many others models from V6 look much better to me.

I have a Gen 24, (Which is slightly different than an 024) and it is green, but a much lighter shade, not quite flat, but slightly convex, and in many types of light, looks almost white.

This, as with so many things, can only be my opinion. May or may not help!:unsure:

Actually yes, the lume on the reps tend to be more greenish than gens would uncharged. I think KW/V6F is quite prone to having rather greenish lumes compared to productions from other factories. It's the same with their cream/vintage/tritium-ish lumes as well, they tend to be darker.
