Macro shootings

[fibonacci086]

Hello,

Just wanted to share some pics of the aged tritium/ZnS lume of my 105.012s I recently took

Small particles are quite volatile and may and end up anywhere in the watch.
Large lume parts can detach from the hands after a shock or just normal ageing.

105.012-66 (not original hands but nice match with indexes patina)



105012-65 (relumed I guess)


Will soon make new pics of 1969s reference to compare

Cheers!

Other pics, tired dial from a ref 105.012 if I am not mistaken
Tritium dust can be clearly observed in that case

Nice shots, I've been playing with macro shots as well on my Speedy. Not as nice and crisp as yours tho.

Closest lume shots I can get with my 10x loupe
The hands are NOS and as you can see, the dial tritium is degrading pretty good.

Next is the well known Omega Speedmaster Meteorite, aka Speedyorite:
