Re: 30 year safe dweller Transitional 1133B McQueen

Great watch Rich, very well preserved and interesting to hear the story behind it too.

Also interesting is how the lume on the Chronomatics goes to greeny-blue, while the transitionals go through pannacotta into tans/taupes. Wonder if, given what we sometimes see on the Chronomatic paint, whether that is just a change in lume material or a reaction with the paint too. Though now we've seen a paintless transitional too, perhaps it is just a material change.
