Hey guys,

I was curious if anyone knew how a new Rolex will age, specifically the yellowing on the luminescence of the hands and dial.

I actually like the way vintage Rolex watches have a yellowish color. Will a new Rolex age the same way? I believe I read somewhere that they changed the treatment for the luminescence. Does this affect aging?

Although we'll only know for sure 30 years from now...my understanding is that the change to the lume will ensure that your hands/markers will stay nice and white for a long, long time...
