except for the pip/pearl. The pip on the 16800/168000 and the early 16610 is tritium.

Well by now the glow would now be very low in you charge a Luminover one with strong light, artificial or natural, it will glow longer and brighter for longer.But things like inserts are often changed as part or normal routine service.
