Ending the year with a no-date big triangle is not bad ! Does somebody know why the indexes are green ? This is not the first one I see with this kind of patina (military versions for example). I have relumed the hands (tritium was damaged).
What a peach. This lime green smooth type of lume seems to be specific to these 69/70 BT examples, as you say, many of them military issue. No idea why, probably just the type of tritium mix used by a particular dial manufacturer at a particular time. In my experience the hand lume nearly always is a mismatch on these, in a mustard colour and much more grainy in texture. Here’s mine;
You can say what you like. 1. You don’t get BT service dials 2. Service dials are not marked for Tritium Can I say you don’t know what you’re talking about?
Very nice find indeed. I can understand why anyone who’s not to familiar with that specific model thinks it’s a service dial. It obviously isn’t but the texture of the lume and the overall condition of the dial don’t look to be from ~69. So again huge congrats they don’t come very often as beautiful as that.
