If you want neon sign lume in the middle of the night when your eyes are dark adapted, tritium tubes are the way to go.
Otoh, they are near invisible if you walk from bright sun into a dark room and need immediately to check the time, vs conventional lume.

Rolex Explorer II (42 mm)
Tudor Pelagos

Or if non-Rolex family, there is little to beat the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (day or night!)

Do all the dive watches lume all night long? I bought a JDM Citizen dive watch and it glows ALL the time! It is supposed to keep my wrist weighted down, when I send my Rolex to the spa next week.

Mark, what model is your DJ? I love the lume on that dial/hand combination! That dial with YG...maybe a new Grail for me?
