Also 23 seconds is an long amount of time to emit glow. It would fade after 5-10 seconds. That image posted by Cloudchaser the lume is blazing (for such an old watch)!

FWIW, it starts fading immediately and is completely dark within 23 seconds.
And I'm not arguing that it is or isn't a re-lume, necessarily. I assumed it was because of my own lack of information.
But it sounds like there are two separate questions at play: 1) Is there a possibility that it still glows? 2) Is this specific example a re-lume?
As to the first question, there are numerous experts with numerous opinions, obviously. As to the second, I don't know and can't tell. You seem certain in light of other experts being less certain. I admit to being confused.
Any L.A. or O.C. based vintage experts that would have a look in the metal?
