SMITHS (Timefactors) PRS-40 Watch

I've been fancying the PRS-18 but I've only found a couple of reviews and they both mention crap lume. :/

Im very surprised about that? A PRS18Q was the first of Eddies watches for me 3 or 4 years ago and the lume is superb! I used to wear it on late shifts at work for that very reason

Is yours one of the second batch Certified Chronometer ones? I believe that the older ones had great lume but the new ones aren't as good. With that being said there are very few reviews so it may just be that a couple of bad ones got out.

Eddie's return policy isn't great which puts me off buying one to see how it is.
 
Mine is the old version. I'm away from home at the moment but will try a lume shot when I get back and post it up.

I wish I'd bought one of the older ones when I had the chance, the standard Swiss quartz movement would be more than accurate enough and I think I'd rather have great lume and longer battery life than the COSC certificate.
