    Full lume watches - please show what you have

    As per title - I really want a full lume watch and originally set my sights on a vintage TAG 1000 night diver

    By the power of google I now realise there are offerings from other brands such as Squale, Resevoir etc

    Please post piccies :)

    Here you go - my Doxa Sub 300 Carbon Whitepearl. The lume is excellent!

    Bell & Ross do a few fully lumed models (their square diver and possibly others, I think) and Damasko too.

    That’s the most appealing doxa I’ve ever seen!

    DA37 from 2006 and still unmarked due to the Damasko case hardening . . .

    That is lovely. How easy is it to read in the night? I find sometimes the hands and dial sort of blend together after a few hours.

    Damasko didn't do bracelets back then (they do now), the watches came on leather.

    Thanks for all the positive comments! I really recommend this watch. I think the monochrome colour scheme works so well. I like the other Carbon models but I think the colours are sometimes too much given what's going on with the case texture. This one is a bit more understated but still has the fun / gimmick of the full lume dial.

    I find it pretty easy to read at night given the contrast of the hands against the dial. The lume does fade after a while but is much better than on other Doxas I've had. I've always found the standard Doxa lume a bit disappointing, a bit like on my Sinn U50. Now if they ever made a fully lumed version of the U50 I'd be all over it.

    Thanks, that’s good to know. I suppose the bold black handset helps a lot. Really is a cracker.

    And something a little more left field, Bulgari Steve Aoki LE. The face only shows up when the lume is doing its thing so ordinarily the watch just appears as a white dial Bulgari.

    I quite like them, it looks fun especially with the full lume strap.

    It’s like a beacon mate, lasts all night no problem. Sadly I can no longer say the same about myself…….
