    Green lume vs blue lume

    Which lume do you prefer? I think my vote goes to green becauce I think its stronger than the blue one.

    Current collection- Seiko Marinemaster 300m SBDX001, Seiko Premier Automatic SPB001J1,
    Seiko Premier Kinetic SNP004P1, Orient Mako XL CEM75002D

    I find BGW9 readable longer, but I do enjoy both.

    I chose blue, because it looks cooler and lasts almost as long.

    According to the lume chart, C3 green lume is the brightest and longest lasting!

    Green, easier to read when it starts fading.
    Calm down.....It's just a watch....

    You not only buy a watch, but the company behind it.

    I have to say that lume appearing white when not glowing is important to me. I just let go my blue Sumo because the way the lume appeared greenish when it was light out really clashed with the blue dial and I just couldn't warm to it.

    My PO has C3 that is nuclear bright at night. It fades quite a bit by morning, but still quite readable. The Sub-C has BGW9 and, while not as intense at full charge, has the coolest blue color. And, as observed already, it seems to maintain its intensity longer, so it might be slightly more readable by morning.

    Which do I prefer? Honestly, I can't say....
