How'd he shovel all that mulch out and spread it around the yard so fast! Use a grain scoop. And ... take one photo the day before, shovel a bit, go indoors and look in on Omega Forums, then finish up the next day.
Yeah, noticed the date once I reached work Here's proof (or an excuse to post one more picture of this awesome watch - granted, not the best light possible):
First day on the wrist In the seller's photos the dial looked remarkably un-aged for a 20-year old watch (an early "U" serial number) so I figured it was probably fitted with a service dial in the not-too-distant past. My suspicion was further confirmed by the nicely glowing lume, despite the fact that it should only have 31% of its original luminosity based on the 12-year half-life for tritium (I own a 25 year-old Explorer 1 with tritium lume and it has zero apparent luminosity). I'm not complaining though.
I haven't done half life calculations in a long time, but I am coming up with 33.3%. I'm using a linear extrapolation. If that is wrong, please accept my apology.
It's not a linear calculation. 31.6% is the remaining half life. I gotta use the grey matter a little more frequently.
