 I don't know if its a swiss problem, Omega's have fantastic lume, so do rolex's and a whole host of other small brands.

Part of it is the distinctive markers, there is just not much room for lume but the quality of the lume is lacking as well. If it were real c1 or c3 it would look much better. whatever they used has more daylight pigment in it than lume so it looks nice and white durring the day but there's not much going on in the dark.... there is a joke there if anyone wants to finish it :P

MarcelloC on the left Steinhart on the right.
this is after letting the lume fade for 15 or 20 seconds, the different lumes on the Steinhart are visable too.
I haven't actually seen it in the dark yet, it doesn't really have to be impressive durring the day it has to be readable at night. I'll know the answer to that if I ever get to bed tonight!
