My knock around watch was (and is -- if anyone can ever get my new Ti Seamaster off my wrist) a Hamilton Khaki which glowed like a beacon when I first got it about three years back. Now, it barely gives off a peep.
Is the loss of luminescence particular to the Hamilton (and a cheaper grade of luminescent material on the dial) or should I expect the same thing to happen to my new Seamaster?
How long will the extra bright luminescence of my Seamaster last? Right now, it is like nothing I have ever seen. Will there be a gradual (fast?) fading of my new watch's ability to glow in the dark?
FWIW, one of the things that got me to buy the Ti version was the comparison that Derek did of the old watch face style and the new one. It really is very easy to read the new dial in the dark and I would hate to lose this ability.
Thanks all.
