That Nacken has great lume! Love it and the Fortis for full lumes.
As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Re: Lume shots...let's see 'em!
I am relatively new to watches compared to most of the people here so I have to ask: Which watch is that?
Something funny. Earlier I was going to post a lume shot of the watch I was wearing so I went into the closet with all the lights out and then NOTHING. The watch I was wearing does not have lume! LOL.

Haha! Reminds me of all the times I've given a quartz watch a little shake to get it going and crank up that power reserve!Valen wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 9:54 pmI am relatively new to watches compared to most of the people here so I have to ask: Which watch is that?

How about this one? I might win for worst lume! This is after a significant charge. Only the hour markers have lume. Yes, the hour markers and not the hands. Still a lovely watch from 1981 with a beautiful inscription, and original stamped papers.

I feel like I really just lucked into it; I’m not a vintage collector but I’m ALL about this one, so that may change. Should have a cognac croc strap for it soon.
Best thing about these and similar is that they aren’t particularly collectible or special, but sure are fun and well made. I won’t go chasing marquee watches “because I should.” It’s gotta appeal on some other level if possible.
