9 hundred something. I don't get the SN secrecy. I've posted mine online before but don't recall it. Don't have it on my wrist at the moment.

Hi @Vintagewtchzilla[emoji137]

I've got some magic photos for you[emoji3] Same watch.Two photos taken 3 minutes apart
The 1st is taken by a Lumia 920 hp with a no flash setting but a very brief flash light was seen just before the photo was snapped af76266bc1ed2b4c3a185580e8229825.jpg Now this shot was taken by an ipad after 3 minute e1da3c1761137ed30247f172347b5dd8.jpg

It's as if when the Superluminova is fully charged ( by natural sunlight or artificial light ) it initially emits a strong blue lume but as the strength of the Superluminova weakens , it now begins to emit a colour with a longer wave length & takes on a greenish hue !

This B-G lume dilemma is not unique to the CK2998 LE but also a phenomena in the Sub & Explorer models

For the CK2998 owners of the blue lume ,is there a gradual change to a greenish hue as the Superluminova strength weakens ?

I dont know whether Omega had 2 batches of Superluminova colours or from different suppliers for that matter OR perhaps they were also using NOS in the later productions

Alright. I'll stop here & the distinguished gentlemen of the forum can continue the discussion.Thank You for having me on your thread Sir

All green here as well. SN in 900s. Could it just be a manufacturing defect?

@meganfox17
i really appreciate your help. sorry if i sounded rude or said something wrong.:whipped:
there is no gradual change from blue to grenish when the lume weakens. the 2 hands stay blue and the dial, lollipop and bezel lume stay green, but the blue seems to last longer than the green one.
i'll try to make a short video and upload it to my instagram account.

i think they had a small batch of hands with blue superlumina hands and none cared about or knew it, and so the find their way to production.

@ck1109

many thanks, and yes i think the same

Interesting situation. Mine also has the hour and minute hands blue. Personally, I think it's a cool difference. My movement squeaks when I set the time so I'm more concerned with that tho haha.

🙁 squeaking movement sounds not so cool ... hope it will be easy fixed.

Just saw something about this posted on instagram. They think blue/green is rarer as well. #interesting
