    Hello,

    after talking to seller regarding originality of the dial / hands and asking for a lume shot I got this picture.
    Do not know what to think about this.. (probably taken with some light)
    Could you please share your opinions? s-l1600.jpg s-l500.jpg

    Many thanks!

    Maybe taken with a UV light? Would definitely need more shots of the whole dial without UV to tell if it was relumed.

    The first photo looks pretty okay to me and the plots show some sharp edges and grow quite consistently. But I certainly would want to see more photos and I would think seller should be willing to provide so.

    Looks like a UV shot. I would ask for a follow-up shot at 10 seconds. Tritium should fade quickly but a modern relume would keep glowing.

    In my opinion this is how it looks like an uv shot.

    The lume picture seems a bit odd to me because the bezels 12 oclock triangle should be the same color as the numbers on the bezel. The hash marks on the bezel should not be lumed but they appear to be a similar color to the lume on the dial.

    I would need to see a non zoomed in picture to show more but it looks like the 50 and triangle on the bezel MAY have lost lume based on the first pic?

    I don't have any UV pics of my sm300 saved but here is one I found online that hopefully shows what I tried to put into words. Also, as @flqt-9000 pointed out if the UV light is shining while the photo is taken there should be a purple hue around the image. You can charge the lume quickly with UV and turn the UV light off and snap a photo and there will be no purple hue though.

    Thank you everybody! The day shots provided by seller are very poor as well as communication. And now he stopped answering at all.
    After talking to OF's member who was also interested in this watch, I prefer to think this is scam.

    Just fyi

    The uv light torch was stupid angled so the 12 and triangle stay dark

    More important for u , there are a lot of different bezels where also the 5 min markers were tritium

    So do you think it may be a night shot?

    I feel like a night shot with flash light, but colorised by some reason (white spots on the metal are not white). You can see a day pictures in the listing, it has a yellowed tritium 5 min markers
