Breitling superocean 44mm Chrono

[madmax21]

I have a question for you all I have a superocean 44 in a millimetre it seems that the lumens are starting to get either have aged, or I'm starting to think some type of a water leak have compromised. The dial please have a look at the picture and tell me what you think I'm considering replacing the lumens as a highly depend on them. I wear the watch when I sleep and I use it to tell the time throughout the night please by all means give me your suggestions

its hard to tell to be honest - from the picture the lume looks fine. I just took delivery of a 2011 SuperOcean A13340 and that glows nicely when you take it from light to dark but no way I can use it to tell the time after a few hours in the dark. It is just the nature of the chemical - it WILL deteriorate over time regrettably

I took delivery of my first genuine Breitling last week, a 2011 SuperOcean A13340 and while it glows well during the daylight as soon as it goes dark the lume doesn't last very long and there's no way I could use it to tell the time. Unfortunately all lumes will go bad after a time - its a fact of life.

Yeah I agree they will definitely go bad after time my question however is can the lumens be replaced on the own or do I need to replace the entire dial add my next service intervolt

The lume looks shifted on the 8th index?

I had to watch looked at about 2 months ago and it was almost dead on in terms of specs when the watchmaker opened it he suggested I leave it alone but on my next service I think I'm going to replace the dial.

I have old eyes, however I believe it is the angle of the picture. Look at the 4 position. It is "off center" as well. I am leaning that the photograph is angled just slightly.
The lumes look good (to me). If you are firm that the lumes are deficient, you will need to replace the dial to remedy the issue, I believe.
