    ... that there are no reflections of the camera/lens (and flash) visible in the bezel and case.

    Here is another shot; I did "fade" the "convert to B&W" step to show the tritium used both on the hands and the 12 o´clock marker.

    'Catalog-quality' picture again!

    Stunning picture! I still have a long way to go before I even come close to your pictures.

    Thanks for sharing!

    Kind regards,

    That's a successful attempt, as indeed...

    the T applied pieces (12 o'clock and hands) glow more yellowish than the other, which is visible here (at least when one knows what to observe)

    Just note also, that they are not only Tritium, as one can "load" them through sunshine or artificial light, which is not possible with T only.

    They have to be a mixture of Tritium and other luminuous material such as SL (SuperLuminova), otherwise, the "charging effect" would not exist. On some of my prior requests on this matter I never received a clear response.

    Thanks for your try-outs !

    Ciao, Rob.
