"Lume" Shot of my Jazzmaster Viewmatic 40mm

So, this watch does have some lume, but it's pretty weak. I think since it is more of a dress watch, Hamilton didn't really put much Superluminova on it (or even had much room to do so). It does last ok when charged, but it is still hard to see do to the small amount. Compared to most sport watches it's not great, but I guess for a dress watch it's ok (although my Citizen dress watch is still better). Anyway, here you go....

(FYI...I think this was about a 5-second exposure at ISO 200 using my little Canon Powershot, taken within about a minute after "charging" with an LED flashlight. The ambient lighting in the room is from the TV, which I thought gave a cool look with the white balance that the camera was set to.)

Thanks for looking!

That's a really nice shot, Matt. Well done. :-! My first reaction before reading your comment was that it was taken outside at dusk!!

Personally, and despite the fact that it's not great, I'm pleased that Hamilton decided to Superluminova the non-numeral hour markers. It would've been so easy for them not to bother, and nobody would have complained. But I think it adds greatly to the overall look.

So kudos to Hamilton for not taking the easy route (which reflects well on their build quality) and kudos to you for the pic! (You might want to resize it so that it fits nicely on the page and isn't so 'in your face')

(I still have another four weeks to wait for my Viewmaster :-()

Thanks.

The pics fit nice on my screen...maybe your screen res is too low? :-d
(My display is at 1680x1050 though!)

You're welcome. My screen isn't set too low - yours is too high, with the resulting 'in your face' huge images :-d IIRC the recommended pic size is 800 x 600.

Still a nice image, though... :-!
