: Very nice watches, though I'm biased, as the Deep Blues are my
: favorite vintage dive watches.
: Odd the way that the lume on the one on the right degraded, and yet
: the dial appears to have remained in excellent shape. Here's one
: of mine that, due to having spent much of its life in India,
: ended up with what some call a "tropical" dial. I
: happen to like to very much, and it looks even better in person.
: Cheers,

Indeed a lovely aging on your Deep Blue dial though the pic seems to be taken with a flash. Would you have one with daylight?
I guess the reason why my dial has aged so bizarrely is probably due to Radium same as your lumen "RA" as I'v only seen this kind of degradation on very vintage once but I may be wrong.
Cheers,
Sandra
