UV rays on the old type of Lume material causes it to yellow....

A real beauty!
ENJOY! That is exactly what happened to my first Sub(circa 1977) - the Tritium on the dial simple evaporated and created the patina color that you see today. Under no circumstances should you refinish the dial or attempt to re-lume it -the loss of value (and looks) will be detrimental….. |

I have a 16610 that is about two years newer than that and the dial, hands, and pip are all a nice creamy color with no orange tone at all.
