Northernman, has that been relumed or is it a simple case of aging? I ask because mainly because of the 12, 9 markers, and because I've seen a couple others of the dirty dozen lot and some have the lume like yours, and wasn't sure. Either way I really like it!
Thanks,
Lou

EDIT:
camera no longer works?? good to know, so I'll hold off the upgrade myself!

Camera only takes pictures of utter complete darkness馃檨!

As for the Dirty Dozen watches I think most have had relume jobs performed at one time or the other. War dept./MoD replaced the lume as part of the regular service the watches was subject to. Some very few watches have "survived" intact as they either was taken out of service prior to the first service, or they were sold to the general public directly after the war.
As for my Buren I have no idea as to the origin of the lume. My best guess is that it was relumed ages ago.
The lume on the hands have been replaced and made to match as the old lume material had cracked.

1967 Accutron 214 Astronaut, just serviced for the first time after 45 years. Looks great and perfect performance, but I cant leave my 861-1969 out of my wrist...

New arrival 24 hours ago: aa8bf0abb3e6c466df3aa292b431eafb.jpg

14k 1966 Admiral Pulsations dial reference 69-384A caliber 342.

Perhaps needless to say, but my pulse quickened to almost off the scale when I first strapped this one on!

I just got a vintage Rodania racing strap for the summer outfit of my silver Monaco ref. 1533G:
