Looking at my Skyland, and the contrast of the white colored stenciled numbers, I thought it would be really cool if the stenciled numbers had lume applied to them as well!
Thoughts? Has anyone ever modified thier Ling before or would that be blasphemy?

When I first got my Skyland I thought that the numbers would glow in the dark so when I later found out that they didn't I was quite disappointed. I would be really neat if the could... :boingb:

Without a doubt. Sign me up!

I've never been crazy about the lume on my Skyland. It's not like it holds me back from doing what I want to do, but still, for that once a year when I go to the movies...I want to know what time it is :lol:

I just love mine and the only thing that I can critisize the AS for is the lume, or lack of it. Then again it´s not an issue for me so...

I personally think it would look silly with the big numbers lumed up. Then again, I prefer small amounts of lume. Its pretty limited on the skyland, but seems to be okay to me.

Lume is neither here nor there for me.

However, the numbers on the Le Mans dial are all lumed and I must say they look great! It's the only watch I've ever stuck under a light and then turned the lights off to look at more than once!

However in terms of modifying an AS, then I personally wouldn't do it. But then I'm a stickler for OEM everything!
