Since the 2011 breitling lineup kind of sucked i tried something different for a change less busy dial Omega PO XL, and one thing i noticed is the great lume...but do you consider better than the blackbird

sorry about the poor picture but lume is very tricky to photograf
please vote

Good poll. Though the PO has amazing lume too, the BB gets the nod in my book.

Both are tremendous, though the 'bird has more square mm of lume.

My story and I'm sticking with it. Lume on the hands and the chrono indicators ( my favorite part) has me, er, um, convinced.

These are two only two watches I own worth anything. To me the initial brightness goes to the BB, there's just a lot of lume on it and it looks really cool when it first gets "charged". The PO lume is also very bright, though there's a bit less of it, but it seems to lasts a lot longer than my BB.
