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

Thank you John,
Bezel
