And you never answered my earlier question.......do you own luminova Rolex watches as well as tritium models at varying degrees of degradation? I can assure you......if you saw one of these service luminova dials as compared to other luminova and tritium models........you wouldn't be so adamant about continuing with this notion.

[QUOTE=Jason71;6346003]Nice link to a good read, and the thread you linked to speaks about tritium and 'toothpaste' service dials......but I truly fail to see you point. Are you implying that there isn't the possibility of a luminova service dial that is marked like a tritium service dial? Because I can assure you........if this is your implication, you are incorrect.
We've got to stop with this guy.......seems like he's just trying to be argumentative, unwilling to accept common knowledge. Feels very much like dealing with my two year old.

I own many tritium dialled watches, 1 is a Tritium 1665, I own 1 non glowing so called toothpaste" service dialled 1665, I own 1 glowing 1665 luminova service dial.
All dials are marked for Tritium in the usual way, are basically the same but it is easy to tell the difference by the colour and intensity (or not) of the glow of the lume. I fail to see the point of the argument. Troll? |

"btw I have myself written something uncorrect : replacement dials with very thick and high indexes ( like the one posted by Springer ) , sometimes nicknamed " toothpaste-indexes " are not made with tritium or luminova but with a sort of dull and uniform paste that doesn't glow at all ( like correctly written by Springer ). we could well define it " a tritium imitation " ( due to the colour that reminds faded tritium indexes ). you can find them also in some replacement dials made for 1655 ( " freccione " ). this odd material has been in use ( at random ) in replacement dials from the early 90s up to the present days." Note that he wrote that the "toothpaste" substance DOES NOT GLOW. The VRF for sale post I referenced also had a pic of the dials glowing. So, the fact that the dials glow and the owner represents them as luminova suggests (I would say strongly) that they are luminova--not tritium and not the toothpaste material. As a side note, if it were toothpaste, I'd be ok with eating it! Either way, I think that on the larger question we at least appear to be converging in on a harmonious agreement as you've posted that there is strong evidence that there are lume service dials with tritium marking. With that I agree |

That's just a plain nasty accusation really, not to mention nonsense, even if my opinion is wrong and even if it's the holiday season! Seasons greetings anyway.
