Hello Guys, I am ready to order an H Fac 005 but first would like to confirm the lume color from fellow members that own this watch.
From pics in this forum, looks like the markers and hands are a bit green when uncharged.
Saw a Gen 005 the other day and markers and hands were almost white when dormant, not a hint of green.
Please advise. Thanks

REP


GEN

Where did you get the rep pic from? I've got a noob 111 and it only looks like that when I first come inside. These have a strong lume and can look like that after being charged by the sun or uv light.

Thanks for your reply, got the pic from this forum. I love PAM green lume but as you said, only when charged by the sun or artificial light, I am afraid factories try to replicate the Gen strong lume applying a greenish tint to the markers and hands.
I hope this is not the case on the H Fac 005.

From what I read, noob has a better, more accurate dial. The lume us green and very strong. Upon discharge, it is white/ creamy just like gen. I posted some pics below. Here is my noob 111 v3...

Yep, My 111 is spot on. 005 might be a different story, Hope I'm wrong.
