    Hi,

    I got a 3513 with a T Swiss T Dial. The hands and markers look somewhat
    yellowish next to the 3717 (luminova), I assumed that was due to the Tritium
    aging/emergng patina.

    However, the briliance of the lume threw me off, its shines pretty strongly!

    I suspect it might be a relumed dial with new hands what do U guys think?

    Would be super helpful if someone with an untouched 3513 and can chime in.

    Thanks very much.

    Lume after 5 mins in the dark

    Hi, really hard to tell from a picture, but the dial look much less luminous
    than the hands on the 3513, the hands seem to be very bright!

    On the picture, compared to the superluminova watch, the 3513 dial/hands both
    look
    'yellowish' indicating it should be tritium...

    Again, difficult to judge but if the dial was relumed I would expect it to
    be brighter too?!

    Regards, Bob

    Thanks! That is exactly what I thought too! It could replacement hands, maybe
    the old hands started to flake and the previous owner replaced it. Question
    is if that is the case, are they new Tritium hands or maybe IWC has luminova
    hands with a yellowish tint?
