greg_r 84 Posted October 8, 2009 Can't remember if we've done one of these before, but we all seem to like lume, so why not have a thread of lume shots? The below is the first lume shot I've ever taken (due to previous apathy, what can I tell ya). Getat PVD 45mm Radiomir. 10 secs under a lamp followed by a 2 secs exposure on my Canon SLR in a dark room (my office at 7am this morning). Was quite pleased with the way it came out. The lume on this watch is quite bright at first, but fades quickly. It's barely visible after a couple of hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harley357 0 Posted October 8, 2009 Nice Houndoggie. I didn't know you had an Ocean 7 LM-2. How do you like it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted October 8, 2009 Nice Houndoggie. I didn't know you had an Ocean 7 LM-2. How do you like it? I had one.. Overall, I wasn't impressed. The movement was fine, a SW 200, but I didn't like the huge domed crystal (not like the fiddy dome) which made every angle look like a fishbowl.. Plus the AR was worthless. The Ti finish always seemed dirty looking and the internal bezel was very rough and "grindy" feeling. I sold it soon after I got it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
