When I bought this EXII about two years ago the hands and markers were snowy white. The color change to yellow happens with the tritium dials on watches from the mid 80s to the early 90s.



I've been using the watch daily for most of 2017 and have observed the plots turning a beautiful light yellow. The hands are turning quicker than the plots and can be seen on the minute hands. Unfortunately, my iPhone isn't sensitive enough to completely capture the pale yellow as yet.



This is a 1991 as is my watch and shows what a well turned EXII looks like. Unfortunately, the hands have been changed at some point.
