Re: Luminosity of Dial
In Response To: Luminosity of Dial ()

: I'm a proud new owner of a Seamaster Titanium 10th Anniversary
: Edition. My question is: I've noticed that, while quite
: bright in the dark, the dial loses its luminosity rather
: quickly. Is this as expected? Or, does the duration of
: luminosity vary with how long the dial has been exposed to
: (bright) light?

: How long do other's Seamaster watches provide brightness in
: the dark?

Yes, I am somewhat disappointed in the luminosity of my seamaster prof chrono also. My watch exhibits the same effects. It is very bright (looks superb) in the dark when it has been exposed to light; however it loses it's luminosity fairly quickly. When I went to the theatre to catch a movie, I've notice that after it has been exposed in the sun, it looked fabulous inside the theatre; however after about 1:45 min. I had to tilt my watch at a certain angle and strain to see what time it was. That's a good question. Is that common occurance? i bought mine new, and have had mine for 7 months. Is there something that can be done without the high $ to do it, and is it worth it to have it done?
