Nice-looking watch by the way.
Thank you Dan! I'm thinking it's probably been re-lumed or replaced but I am not sure. It really isn't too bright and it only really glows when I shine a flashlight or some sort of light directly on it. And even then I can only see it when there's little light. The markers are definitely pretty white. Thank you for the information though I appreciate it, and thank you I really enjoy it!

Also I checked out your Instagram and you have some awesome pictures so I decided to give it a follow :)
