alant Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi dear all, just curious I saw some pictures of the Panerai replicas here, the luminosity glow is pretty intense. And some are as good as the gen ones. Over at Singapore, I find that my piece the glow is not impressive at all, in fact after the lights are off, it glows very slightly (pretty pale) and within like 2-3 minutes not glowing already. Is that normal? Would appreciate any kind feedback. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 I have a Fiddy with davidsen hands that are aledgedly SL, they glow like mad, my dial direct from Andrew glows just a bit less, both are readable after 8 hours in the dark. My Wife has a 217, that loses it after 6 hours and my vintage after about 5 hours also, bear in mind these are sandwich dials and relatively expensive ones $200 plus. By the way welcome to RWG, how about an introduction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Davidsen's are lumed with SuperLuminova (SL) and therefore their glowing is like the genuines (not always the same about nuance, though). All other reps vary between an almost-fake lume and a pretty decent one. Not at the same level of SL, though. Usually (but not always, e.g. the low-cost 104 from Josh has a decent lume in spite of its low price) the lume quality correlates with the watch price and the collectors' claims for extra-lume, stunning-lume, or so. Be adviced that "super lume" is not a synonim for SL, and "super lumed" is not a synonim for "lumed with SL". And usually the hands have a better lume than the dial.

JOEJOEJOE Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Even Gen Pams (recent models with "L" dial) aren't supposed to glow that long. They just glow super bright for very short time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
