·I'm on the look out for a vintage military watch.
As a general rule, the lume on the hands should match the lume on the dial, right?

Not always as things can age differently. Also a ton of franken watches in the military space where parts have been replaced, etc. This is especially true on older watches. Also a surprising amount of fakes out there for military watches.

·Great idea..I'm inspired!
Here's my favourite, A Glashütte Tutima Urofa 59 Flieger chroronograh from 1941. An amazingly beautiful, tough as nails flyback chrono that keeps COSC time. This is a pure tool watch. 39 mm for great legibility, pushers and crown are ergonimically designed for in-flight functionality and the radium hands and markers still have life in them!
The 17 jewel guilded movement with balance shock absorber is a marvel.
I've stopped collecting military watches for the simple reason that military watches demand a very high degree of dedication for which my schedule won't allow. Nevertheless, I snatch one up once in a while.
Cheers,
