which rep watches have the brightest lume?

The (expensive) Blancpain FF has consistently strong lume. From mine the 16570 Explorer does very well too as does the PAM 212 Flyback and the Br Superocean Steelfish. PAMs may be very bright but it also varies a lot in more recent times.

The problem with statements like "this rep has the best lume" is that in the rep world the QC can differ in each watch meaning some of a watch will have good lume while others not so much. If you want the best lume then a relume is probably required.

In my collection the best lumed ones are:

- Blancpain FF

- Omega LMPO Noob version

- Tudor BB

- Panerai 164 (not sure if H or Noob factory, it was my 1st rep, got it from Trusty - Andrew)

- Graham Cronofighter classic from Noob Factory (in special @Torobravos)

I can't quite grasp why so many seem to have such a fascination with lume......   Other than my Luminox, none of my watches (gen or rep) glow brightly in the middle of the night.   A few are somewhat readable (Omega PO's, Hublot 4000 King Diver), but none glow brightly for more than an hour or so after being in direct light.

This I'd like to have... And probably will beat any luminova around (can you see the 3 tritium tubes in the hands and the 12 hour markers ones?):

I had the JSAR:

But the question was Best REP, so I'd have to go with the Graham myself:

TC sub, glowed like gen as I had new gen insert so kept up with Rolex pearl. Now others may have more lume applied but as far quality you will not need relume.

 

PS have a Gen luminox with tubes , you want long lasting go tritium.

Gotta say that my Pam 111 and the 029 Gmt are pretty bloody good  :inverted:

 

 If you love your lume though you must have your dial relumed by one of the modders on here, Vac comes to mind immediately on any watch you wanna name, just be prepared for a long wait to get your watch back  :partytime:

I have many of the watches shown in this thread/post such as the Graham, the BFF, the Explorer II and many watches that are not shown but I have to agree with those that stated the Noob PAM 111 is the strongest lume and more importantly the longest lasting illumination.
