Re: GMT watches
In Response To: Re: GMT watches ()

MICKIRatt,
Thanks for the reply. I bought my Bond chrono about 1998. I thought I was getting tritium but they had just changed to super-luminova. I know that lume fades after being charged, but mine fades much quicker then other watches I own. I'm a little strange because lume (being able to read my watch at night) is important to me. That's where I figured that the regular Seamaster with the large lume markers would satisfy my lume fetish, but I also want the Co-Axial movement. I want my cake and eat it too!
I know the new Bond GMT has the new lumed areas...how do you say it...encased in a metal boundry. I wonder if this technique has also improved the lume?
Besides the lume, my Omega is a great watch. I have to send it in for service because the crown does not screw in after the last time I set it.
Any referrals for a service location and a good AD to buy a new GMT from?

Bezel
