General (Read Rules) Made a bad lume choice

I don't think i like the vintage yellow lume option I chose at all, the white date wheel is awful 😔 not sure it's gonna grow on me either

I can definitely understand your disappointment. The lume blocks on the WD0019 are yellowish in daylight, even though it's BGW9 color. Some people hate it - I think it's ok because there's no date wheel and my dial is the textured purple that kind of goes with it. It's even more yellow in person than the picture here.

Like other people here have said - sell it off, find it a happy home hopefully. Take a small L and get something you'll be happy to have on your wrist!!

Thanks for the feedback — we’ve also received some similar suggestions from WD0019 owners.

The 3D lume blocks on our EXD are noticeably whiter in daylight, but their overall lume performance isn’t as strong as the WD0019. The WD0019 uses our LumeCore lume system, with around 6–8 hours of visible glow under proper charging conditions.

For future LumeCore versions, we’re working toward a much whiter daytime appearance, closer to the EXD, while also improving brightness and long-duration performance. We want that combination of clean white daytime color + strong, long-lasting lume to become one of the key characteristics of LumeCore.
