I wouldn't know since my skeleton carrera is the gold version without lume But surely Monza lume last longer time than any other Carrera that i own. The faux lume effect ? Maybe Yesterday i watched the latest movie Ad Strata. It was luming all the way. No spoiler, but i found it tedious at times so i just keep looking at the lume of my Monza
These lumes look really good in these photos but surely practically they are pretty pointless unless you have a desperate need to know the time <5 mins after holding your watch right under a really bright light?
Yes and dive watches are pretty pointless unless you work as a professional diver. Chronographs are pretty pointless unless you are a race car driver living 50 years ago. Having a watch is pretty pointless unless you are one of them folks living without a smart phone in the pocket.
Does the lume on Panarei watches really make a big difference? I've heard they outlast other brands but never tried one out.
