Guess with watches are Vintage

Picture of my Rolex winder at night. There are 12 Rolex sport models in the winder case, can you guess which ones aren't vintage?

The green ones could be 60s models where the phosphorescence in the zinc sulfide still glows today for brief periods.

4 across and 3 down, the dials showing are 16600, LV Sub, 16750, and the blue is the BLNR. Of course the vintage dont glow, aside from a slight bit for about 2 minutes from a bezel marker or two (reason there appears to be 3 dots on some is from the winder cover refection).

Thanks for indulging me, first time I've really stared at the watches in the dark, hehe.

Actually some vintage pieces do glow, and quite brightly for long enough to snap a picture in the dark. I have a few vintage pieces that glow as bright as new ones and they have not been relumed. Particularly, my 1963 5513 white Swiss underline and my 1966 Bart Simpson, which glow insanely bright for long enough to turn off the lights and take pictures. As mentioned, this was due to a particular zinc sulfide mix they used when they initially switched from radium to tritium. Thus, there is no knowing if the ones that are glowing green are new or vintage in that picture given the initial information that was presented.
