I know some places that will apply a "Super Lume" for less than the service center would. The people that posts pictures of their Panerai's look like they are torches

Hmm, my model B13055 (crosswind) has lume on the dialarrows, but they do not light up in the dark. Is that a common problem or did Breitling used low quality lume? |

The lume will lose it's function/ability over time, even if I suspect it is a little bit too early for a Crosswind to fade already. If I'm not wrong, you can get the service center to re-lume the dial at the next service (or even earlier if you want, but then I suspect they will want to do a service then too). |

The crosswind is a 1997 watch...should that be the problem? |

Welcome aboard. After years lume might start to loose it's capacity but not with the new watch. Hold it 5 mins next to a bulb,after that go in the dark room. |

Another thing I notice is the difference in different types of light sources. Incandescent and fluorescent bulbs don't seem to have near the same effect as that of natural sunlight. After just a few seconds outdoors my lume is brilliant when compared to inside. |

I think they have the same effect but different time to achieve that. |
