OK, now for some lume shots:
Above is my CAJ2180 sitting in a Wolf Winder holder right on the table's edge with the camera on a tripod. The camera is a Olympus Tough Guard 6 we bought for a diving camera, but it's got a fantastic macro mode:

Steady camera and watch fixturing is key as the shots are all long exposure shots. The camera is on aperture priority and zoomed in quite a ways, maybe 3.5x. The flashlight to the left is a UV flashlight.

The CAJ2180 in full bloom:

That's with the UV light shining on it.

Here's my WAN2110:

I'll let these digest and put up some more in a bit. My wife has a few amazing Aquaracers to share.

Thanks for sharing all those! I think this is the first time in 5 years someone else has posted a 500m full black AR!

Replaced hands? Maybe? I dunno, they look the same in daylight.... and actually if the hands had been replaced you'd think they would be stronger?

By the way, this was obviously done with a UV light, the lume on this watch is weaker than the Star Wars prequels.

Yeah may be a bit harsh, there's still some life left in the lume!

Nope. Even George knows he f'd up. Mind you 'Return of the Jedi' wasn't that great.... bloody Ewoks!

UV light shot, in normal circumstances the (newly replaced) hands are bright and the hour markers are weaker than Terminator 4.
