Hey bud. Sorry for my delayed reply. I've seen many original 1960s tritium lume glow bright at first immediately after exposure. If you watch it in the dark you can literally see it fade and between 30-60 seconds it should be almost all gone. Sometimes a very faint glow can be seen throughout the night but the important thing is that it should fade quickly and then evens off. Next time I have my 68 Tudor in front of me I'll try to time it to see how long it takes.
