The AT2000 does have a great lume with the different colors...probably the "coolest" lume of all my watches.

I've been researching the IWC Spitfire Mark XVI, and just thought I'd share a pretty sweet lume shot someone posted on the WUS IWC forum. This was taken right after the watch came back from some warranty lume work.

Are Ball's with the tritium considered to be Lumes or is that another class ?

Lume is lume. Before luminova when it was tritium paint they didn't call it Trite. So yeah, tritium gas filled tubes are lume. Illumination.

True, although it might be possible to say the tritium tubes are a different "class" of lume, insofar as they're not paint. Also, unlike SL, they do wear out over time. But yeah, it's still lume.

Hmm...I just stumbled upon this shot in a Rolex forum, posted six days before the OP. I'm not sure who's borrowing from whom, but someone isn't giving credit where it's due.
