peyups Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 With the price of HBB reps, is the lume good or just standard rep lume? How is it compared to gen? Never saw a HB lume shot yet.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peyups Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Anyone had their HBB reps superlumed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 The lume on the gen is minimal and so is the rep. It is not meant to be a see in the dark watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peyups Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Now this explains why I haven't seen a HBB rep or gen lume shot. Thanks for the reply. The lume on the gen is minimal and so is the rep. It is not meant to be a see in the dark watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Like the previous posters said, there is a very weak lume on the hands in some models. Some other models have no lume in both rep and gen (All Black) or just the rep (Ice Bang). Combine that with the absence of lume in numerals and You have an almost impossible to read at night watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I relumed my Tuiga and it's a slight improvement over stock lume (brighter and last longer). Here is replica lume: I have not taken after reluming but the rep lume is pretty good I must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peyups Posted July 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I wish I can do relume myself. Well if I'LL ever buy a HBB rep its ok if the lume is weak as the gen one is weak also... I just thought for the price of it, it has a very good lume. I relumed my Tuiga and it's a slight improvement over stock lume (brighter and last longer). Here is replica lume: I have not taken after reluming but the rep lume is pretty good I must say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 *note : thread revival* I still can't track down a lume shot of the genuine after all this time... is there no lume on the dial at all ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
