They seem to be reserving the full lume for the aluminium bezel these days.
Here are some quick lume shots

And a couple of pics regarding the watch being too blingy. Yes, there is some polishing on the case. And the bracelet has PCL's, which are very reflective. However, the dial is matte black, which, at least in my opinion, tones it down quite a bit. Here it is next to a Rolex Submariner. Granted its the sub with the green bezel, so that might add a bit of pop. However, someone posted a pic of it next to a sub with a black bezel. I find the Rolex, at least in the area of the dial, which is glossy, almost as blingy.
You can really see how reflective the Rolex dial is in a lume shot. Now perhaps had the put a glossy dial on the Planet Ocean, maybe that would have sent it over the top. As it stands I think they did an amazing job with the watch.
Can you share how you charged the lume like this? Very impressive shot!
and the bezel is fantastic!
Really though?
Honestly, yes. I really liked it, it has a nice texture and print, and fits with the watch really well. Dial was 'fine' to me, but the bezel was way better than I expected. Other than the 30 minute marker being misaligned of course.
