Lets make a thread of pictures of your Rolex's in the dark with the glow in the dark 'technology' working. Unfortunately I don't have one but I've hardly ever seen images of them in the dark so i'm curious of how they look :)

Buy a Timex with Indiglo if you want to see it in the dark

You know what the really funny part is, when I bought it, it had this brilliant shade of silver bezel that I absolutely loved, but the tritium pearl was missing, as they fall out of 1680s. So I went and looked around until I found an original perfect condition tritium pearl out of an old 1680 bezel that was just the right shade to match my dial and hands.

I then paid $260 installed, for a piece of lume, the size of a pinhead, that doesn't glow, and is for all intensive purposes... broken.

How owning an old watch can make you pay $260 for a non-precious material piece of crap, that's only purpose is to glow... but no longer does, to keep your watch non-glowing, when for $120 you can get one brand new that works is simply staggering. But there it is...

Its sort of like going out in search of a vintage Alfa Romeo, finding one with working electrics, and turning it down because being left on the side of the road in the rain to be honked at by Toyota Hilux driving yobs is part of the sadism that is the vintage Alfa ownership experience.

Same Problem I had trying to take pic's of mine in the dark... mine actually takes a few moments to light up when the lights go out or maybe it's my old eyes

I'll play, with some of the earliest luminova. My "A" Series "Swiss", charged with incandescent and going strong after 12 years.

Ok, I know it's an IWC, but...

Pic taken with my iPhone, I then used the Colorsplash app to make the watch black and white, except for the lume on the hands.
