First off I would like to thank goin for his generous offer...

This is my entry to this contest...
I have just purchased this Rep Rolex Submariner Blue Ceramic of all the details as compared to gen of this watch, the lume is green as of the gen its suppose to be blue lume...

Not only that, this is my first rep with the most worse and weakest lume... The lume wasn't painted evenly when glowing and its not powerful at all! The lume is not visible after 2-3 minutes...

This is the pictures of the fully charged lume using my desk lamp and UV light

How I hope that I win this contest and goin can do the magic! :p

Thanks again goin for your very generous giveaway!!!

Mine was that bad that i couldnt wait for the raffle...Its coming to you right now hehehe

Firstly: thanks very much for this wonderful raffle. Much appreciated. So here's my story: As a member of the SOE (that would be Special Operations Executive) I am regularly parachuted into occupied France by Lysander. This is, as I'm sure you can appreciate, very dangerous work. The fate of civilization also rests in my hands when I undertake these operations. I use, of course, my B&R Military. Imagine landing in a farmer's field, Nazis swooping in from every direction, la Resistance trying to find me and secret me to safety in the nick of time at a very particular hour. There I am, moonless night, and I can't tell the !@#$%^&* time because the lume on my B&R is so pathetic that only the hands give the faintest glow, and that only after being placed under an arc light for three hours before ops. The numbers are completely black. This is not a good situation. Thus, in the spirit of the survival of humankind, I suggest that I need the re-luming more than anyone else. Viva la France libre............. I can't give you my real name, but my code name is Walter Mitty.

Good stroy , but I'm afraid you gonna lose you life If I relume your watch .
See how bright it will be if you got my relume , you don't want to wear a flash light at midnight when you have to do your special mission .

Nice story , but you need to make us realize how worse your lume is .
BTW , not whole dark again !

nielsen · 05-08-2010, 09:42 AM

The lume is so bad that only the hands have the vaguest hint of luminition--and only after long exposure to light. That dies within a very short time. Meanwhile, the numbers have absolutely nothing on them. The wathcis absolutely hopeless at night. I appreciate your worrying about my life if you relume my watch: that it would blaze like a torch and attract attention. I'll make sure to attach a flap of black electrical tape to the case so that I can pull it back, peek at the time and at my maps because the blaze will illuminate them too, close it up again and proceed with my vital mission. The name is Mitty, Walter Mitty!

This raffle couldn't have come at a better time. Its a sad gloomy day for my B&R03. Its a case of so near yet so far..I dressed it up with a Custom Gunny Strap, had the AR done by Taka...but still it suffers from inferiority complex. Its the lume I tell you, its almost non-existant.

Yannou · 05-10-2010, 01:31 PM

I really don't need to try to take a lume pic about my baby as there is no lume at all....and I think it will be an extreme challenge to lume..so...
