The crazy thing is i suspect the paint evapourates when it degrades, now that's a neat trick!

The lume is very unstable in this one, looks like the aftermath of an earthquake, so i expect it will fail, although the flight over the pond did not make it worse, so there is hope. It looks to me that if you were to back fill the lume to stabilise it would crumble, so if at some point it fails, it will need a relume to a very close match (which i'm sure is possible), because even tracking down another original lume set of hands, would likely yield a slightly different shade of blue/green.

: I really like these and am still amazed that the paint can be lost
: so completely whilst keeping the other printing details intact!

: Are you going to try and stabilise the lume on the timekeeping
: hands somehow Rich?
