I've had a few vintage Heuers that have had glass with clouding on the underside.. in patterns that match the lume plots on the dial. (Silverstone and Monin IIRC) I just dug out my Heuer 844 Monnin.. and I've noticed that when viewed at a very shallow angle I can see ghosting on the underside of the glass that match the lume plots below.. thing is, I had this before, and it was cleaned at the last service - not that long ago..
So, what causes this? is it some sort of vapour.. or radiation.. I wonder if this is what causes the Heuer 'paintless' wonders?
Is it bad? Should the watch be regularly opened up to allow fresh air in?
