    Hey all,

    Just picked up a 90’s 145.022. I am writing because the hands seem to still glow pretty bright but the tritium on the dial hardly glows as all. We’re hands and dial lumed with different materials? 06E82CD8-2AAD-4366-81C7-5AFE1D6A24B4.jpeg

    Most likely the original hands were replaced with newer hands when the watch was serviced.

    Those appear to be newer hands...

    Thanks for the input. Hands still aren’t very impressive. Tritium will glow for around 30 seconds and hands a minute or so. Never had a watch with Luminova in it but I assumed it’d be more, well, luminous.
