Well I’m a DD36 fan and that dark blue dial looks almost black in the pics.
I do prefer the true square and rectangular diamond markers you have over roman or stick markers though.
Regardless, day-dates are timeless and the white gold is very cool.
Congrats and enjoy!

It seems i dont have lume at all anyone knows how to fix it ?

The lume is activated by tritium, which has decayed such that the activity is not enough to create much illumination. My guess is that if you wake up in the middle of the night in a totally dark room, you will still be able to see a bit of illumination.

That’s a great watch, by the way. Congrats!

You could replace the dial and hands, I assume, if you need more modern illumination.

Cool thanks

Mine doesn't glow anymore either, it's just part of the aging process.

You could send it out and have it it relumed with super luminova " it would glow but not period correct "
