You and I certainly would.  But we're the vast minority.  The real question is:  Would John Q. Public pay that extra $10.00 or even know enough to ask about the lume in the first place?

My point is...why does the manufacturer have to charge an additional 500% to 1000% ....Seiko (and others) put superluminova on watches that retail for as little as $20.

Missed this before, but Ken are you saying that Seiko does not have a proprietary lume, they just use Superluminova??? I did not know that.

 

Again...yes and no...Seiko does use their own in-house proprietary lume called Lumibrite...but it is very similar to SL !
