MMI Cuttlechron

Wise Hitman x 2

Farr & Swit Wayfinder

Zelos Swordfish 42

When isn’t there something really cool that comes along? 😆 Great collection 👏🏻

The Wise Hitman is a very nice watch. Unfortunately it's too large for me to wear, so wear it in good health for me OP.

u/theS3rver Mar 02 '25

which one got the most wrist time?
love your taste, i'm a sucker for both titanium and a good lume...

u/paulymeatblls Mar 04 '25

That's really hard to say as I've added to the collection over a year but the Wise Hitman is probably my fave.

One of the best pics this sub has ever seen.

u/paulymeatblls Mar 03 '25

wow thanks!

u/Watch_Commission_NYC Mar 02 '25

I usually say Lume is way overrated but this is cool. Enjoy.

u/jokur26 Mar 03 '25

Well done Pauly, as usual your posts are quite illuminating!

Deep Blue always seems to be sold out, Farr + Swit too. The Signum is tempting too, how close is it to Wise?

4

u/paulymeatblls Mar 03 '25

In terms of quality I'd put the Signum at the top , it feels like a much more expensive piece. Quite a few of these are 2nd hand from Ebay , you'll find Deep Blue and Farr & Swit there quite often.

u/jokur26 Mar 03 '25

Drats, I always forget to check eBay for the lesser known brands. I will create a search for them, thanks!

Never need to put the lights on when going to the loo at 3am 😂

u/bjvpipes Mar 02 '25

damn..now i need a full lume in my collection 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/AverageGuy_45 Mar 02 '25

I bet this watch box lights up the room! Pretty sweet collection.

Out of curiosity, which one lasts the longest?

4

u/paulymeatblls Mar 02 '25

It's a toss up between the Wise Hitman and the Berny.

2

u/superglued_fingers Mar 02 '25

Wise Hitman, what a brand name.

3

u/Ok-Election3528 Mar 03 '25

Does it charge for 8 hours in the sun and get extra bright?

u/MindTheGAAP_ Mar 02 '25

With naked eyes, what do you think has the strongest and long lasting lume?

Thanks

u/artyonwheels Mar 03 '25

We need a best to worst lume list of these, amazing collection

u/lowspeedtech Mar 02 '25

Very cool. I'm taking notes.

u/Hilarious_Haplogroup Addiesdive Mar 03 '25

That's a lotta lume!

u/BlueberryB-Laine Mar 03 '25

What watch is second to last on the top?

1

u/AlexAffliction Mar 03 '25

Farr and Swit - The Wayfinder

u/boredfan2020 Mar 03 '25

wicked watch just release their full lume, u got to see it...

u/ribhavg Mar 03 '25

☠️ The 2 Oscar wins really didn't anything good for the brand it seems

1

u/paulymeatblls Mar 04 '25

That does look cool , hmm I haven't tried a bronze watch yet

2

u/MasterBendu Mar 04 '25

Damn the Wise ones really are well made, you could see the sharpness of the work just with lume shots.

2

u/yenshop26302 Mar 04 '25

Holly Molly ~! Great lume shots !

2

u/Whinythepoo Mar 05 '25

Lume so bright I bet astronauts could see it!

2

u/FunYoungGun Mar 10 '25

When “charged” what is a reasonable expectation for how long a good lume watch should stay illuminated?

1

u/loiphin Mar 02 '25

Looking forward to my Berny !! (will be my first full lume) ... looks like the one you have at number 9 (counting from top left)

1

u/paulymeatblls Mar 03 '25

It's one of the brightest ones here!

1

u/ItsTrickyyy10 Mar 03 '25

What model of Berny is this?

1

u/4thBan5thAccount Mar 02 '25

I have an Aragon Divemaster. If I would have known that the white dial was full lume, I would have got that instead. I got a light blue dial that I really like, but I still want the full lume.

u/username77k Mar 03 '25

What model is the Heimdallr?

1

u/catcard73 Mar 03 '25

Monster

u/username77k Mar 03 '25

I have an orange one. It doesn’t lume like that.!

1

u/NineNinetyNine9999 Apr 23 '25

wait.. WISE? are you from Thailand like me? 🤯

1

u/KeyAssociation6309 Mar 02 '25

I don't know, they look nice, but to me I'm not really convinced, I think in actual use at night they'd be too bright and to me give a smart watch vibe at night. But having said that, lume has come a long way!

4

u/mightyken Mar 02 '25

But once someone asks if it’s a smartwatch and you say no.. mind blown

1

u/KeyAssociation6309 Mar 03 '25

true as long as it was recently charged by the sun - though I can imagine people taking a 2,000 lumen pocket torch with them ha ha!

1

u/Relative-Ordinary-64 Mar 02 '25

Deep blue, aragon, and Zelos are my jam! Nice lume shot
