explorer ii 16570 white dial

hi all,
picked up this baby today. It is a U serial number tritium dial, although the lume did not develop any patina yet, although the dots and arrows have a slight contrast to the dial. there is still a faint glow on the dots and arrows but does not last long.

Well, looking fwd to it developing the patina, but if not, it is still a gorgeous watch.

I include the customary pics - sorry for the lousy shots; am not very good at it.

Thanks Guys!
Richard, wow! that is what kept me coming back to this watch! For some reason, this combination speaks to me more than the patina on the mat dials..

Unfortunately, I begin to think that my explorer is one of those U serial with a tritium dial but luminova dots/hands... anyway, will wait and see a couple of years if there is any change, and if one like yours comes along, I may let it go for that one...
