I don't have a picture but basically the hour markers, the numbers (at 3,6,9 & 12) and the central portions of hour and minute hands and the tips of the minute and second hands glow in a quite intense and readable greenish-yellow. A couple of observations, however:
1. the Luminova is only applied to (the middle) portions of the hour & minute hands, and NOT the whole thing as may be inferred from most of the stock photos. Search for non-stock photos on Google Images to see what I mean.
2. I found that the glow diminishes relatively fast. I don't have anything to compare it with, but I don't think it would last for more than a couple of hours. It's certainly fine for walking though a dark room or being in a movie theater. Are there any tricks to charging it so that it lasts longer?
In general I found that the face crystal is quite reflective (is it any different from a regular AT?) when viewed from a 90 Deg angle. This is a very readable watch overall, but it's most legible in the shade/dim light as opposed to the bright sunlight or complete darkness.
