Worth upgrading, 111J to 111M?

I have a 111j that I bought from Puretime for $188, and the lume is really darn good. I noticed that a 111M is only $218 and comes superlumed. Is it worth selling my watch and getting the 111M, strictly for the lume difference?

Is that an H Factory or Noobfactory 111M?

Check out Puretime's tear down of both against a gen and see how you feel about it!

As a side note, the 111J dial is apparently closer to gen than 111M printing-colour-wise, so one option might be to keep the dial top plate and swap it onto the superlumed base plate of either of the Noob or H versions.

How would I know which factory it is? It's on the puretime site. How far off is the 111M dial? I don't want to tear anything apart, not my cup of tea.

It's the duration of the Lume that will be better. I took my H factory 111 and put a 111J dial on the base and mounted it to a high beat movement much better and near perfect.

just have yours superlumed for $100....

That's an option, but since the 2 watches were priced pretty closely it would cost a lot less to sell my current one and buy a new one. I also don't know who does superluming in the US
