If you do relume, be sure to use a non-radioactive luminous material. Tritium or Radium, and soon more than just your hands will be glowing!

I bet the workers at Rolex who applied Radium to the dial and watch hands up until the 1960ies did have nightglowing hands.

Buy European
Why don't you buy an European model? I mean that those Las Vegas diamond glimmers aren't as precise...

If your hands dont glow in the dark, just feel around and you may get lucky.
