One of the main things I look for in a watch is great lume, specifically to last most of the night (but quick to charge and initial intensity is welcome). I was disappointed that the PRS18 COSC lume wasn't on the same level as the previous PRS18.
I had some older TF watches that didn't have the best lume like the PRS14 and PRS10. I've read/seen that the PRS3 is maybe similar to the PRS14. I'm sure there are more older ones that can be added here.
I found the old Everest to be quite good. The PRS40 and PRS18 brilliant, Seiko level.
Will we see a return to the great lume of the PRS40 and PRS18?
Is the new Everest on that level?
