What causes luminova to discolor?
Saw this Sub posted on Bernard Watch, what would cause the Luminova to discolor? Based on the date of manufacture and possibility of a service dial etc, this looks like tritium patina but that wouldn't make sense given the above. The 9 hour marker is particularly noticeable. Water/flooding?

Oil and dirt can make luminova look like that. It's not aging, just an unclean watchmaker with dirty practices.
