Yeah, and could be the charge on the lume...

Some lumes get charged more even in similar lighting conditions. Keep in mind, it's the UV spectrum that charges lume, not the normal "light spectrum" so you could be in a very bright room but the wavelength may be more "red wavelength" then the lume won't glow. You could then be in a similarly bright room (to our perceptions) but the wavelength is more violet and the lume will seem to glow even in a bright room.

Asking all 5960 owners a question.
By: Miles_151 : May 16th, 2021-12:02
As many of you may know luminous materials on Patek hands and dials is a big problem for me. In fact it has stopped me buying several Patek models over the years. I have however broken this rule for the 5960 for all the reasons we have discussed before. W...
Yes looks the same.

Thank you. I’m sure I have seen some whiter looking lume on some 5960’s M.
Thanks Patrick.

Must be my eyes getting old. M.
Not at all...

First of all, all of our eyes are only getting older. Very few of us are getting younger. But there is definitely some possible variation in the manufacturing process. Also, some cloudy days and sunny days make the dials look very different.
It was more on the hands than the dial.

Some 5960’s hands look more white than green. But as you say Patrick it could be the light. Thank you for your input. M.

Completely personal preference

But for me I don’t like lume on Patek complications. I think a complication looks much better without this feature. For me completely cheapens the feel. I don’t mind it on the 5960 because of its sporty feel. M.
Here is a lumeshot :)
