 Many collectors here are "LUME" freaks. I think we all enjoy a watch, especially divers that have good lume. An observation and a few questions...............

Observation...most lume on watches suck, sure they glow big and bright when charged, but lose it very fast, tritium tubes and Seiko excluded.

Question1...is it that much more expensive to use the top quality Superluminova (C-3)?? I think, than the cheaper stuff?Invicta and some others uses Tritium, which is junk, IMHO.

Question2...IMHO Seiko has the best lume product for watches. I believe it is proprietary, but with all the technology out there, why wouldn't a company copy it? Is it that expensive to develop?

What say you???
