In Response To: Shaun, most recent acquisition.. ()

David,

Happy to see you back in the Heuer fold.

I can see your obsession moving on from different pepsi colours to lume-fading-mania.
It is an obsession shared by many in the vintage watch community (and probably includes me, to a lesser extent, but increasingly...)
How many thousand dollars difference on a rolex SD between one with lume in FS-595 Ref 30260 and one with lume in FS-595 Ref 33798?

If you are a model airplane "anorak", then I obviously don't need to explain the critical finality of the FS-595 Federal Standard colors notation.
You can check on this website the difference between the FS-595 color 30260 (light tan) and 33798 (lightish yellow):
