Would love to see some lume shots of this watch if you've got any.

No chance to take one yet as I don't have camera with me. Lume is ok but don't expect it to be at same level as the one used in Ocean Diver.

That's fine Carlos. I'd still just like to get an idea as to what the lume looks like on the chrono.

Here are pics of the lume - picture taken with a Sony DSC W200 in a dark room on a stand.

1st pic was 2.5 secondes 2.8 aperture

Thanks a million; just what I was looking for. So none of the chrono registers are lumed?

It was never advertised as such and most chronos I know of aren't. You may not be aware but that would increase costs considerably and this chrono is being sold at a killer price. However we take note of all you guys say for future models.

The hands on the sub dials are so small anyway the lume would barley show up :) As Carlos said we can keep that in mind but I've never been asked that question about a chrono before.

I've been wearing my Prometheus Chrono for a while now and really like the feel and quality of this one. Took me a while to get used to but it's running at one a few seconds fast per week right now - that's darn good!

I'll try and take some lume shots this week too, but the ones here clearly show the lume.
