Reply With QuoteOK, here's another...although it may actually be radium??? :?
And here's my first watch, from when I was about 7 years old...
Another one slowly turning a beautiful colour.
Lot's of fabulous examples on display chaps, keep 'em coming.

No, but it's not all about looks either. Yin, yang ;)Originally Posted by Omegary
FWIW I've had two watches with tritium. One, an old one that I didn't expect to work in the dark, and the second, much newer but that was terrible as well. The first has gone a nice cream colour and the second as white as ever so how all these watched ended up going brown I've no idea. Still, the manufacturer intended it to light up in the dark and that's kinda my expectation too...
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!
Mine feels right at home here :D

Some modern Tritium

Early shot trying to get the lume. Looked artistic so I kept it. :)
Another one of mine that I had more or less forgotten, hence its now also on SC :?
Get a new dial or have it re-lumed. It's not rocket science :?Still, the manufacturer intended it to light up in the dark and that's kinda my expectation too...

I believe "chunk of plastic crap" is a registered Tm of mine Gary :lol: but as a fellow aesthete you are quite welcome to use it. :D

Thanks Neil and sorry I didn't realise I was infringing any copyright :wink:I believe "chunk of plastic crap" is a registered Tm of mine Gary :lol: but as a fellow aesthete you are quite welcome to use it. :D
Now why didn't I have the good sense to trade mark such a truism :lol:

Another one of those "why did I sell this" watches.

And another :(

Both the same model sub, but one had a lovely patina and one was brilliant white
Just received this in trade & quite like that the tritium is just turning creamy...
Hence the thread resurrection

Holy thread revival, Batman! That's more trit than the Joker's facepaint...
Couple of mine.
classic watch enthusiasts.. its radioactive, poisonous, and not as good at being luminous as modern superluminova etc but it ages a pretty colour so we love it !
Love trit dials
Been wearing this lately, issued from 1983, the lume's a little darker than this shot shows it....
F.T.F.A.
All lovely examples, but particularly love these two, ie Bobdogs'!

These pics are very dangerous - for my wallet!
Performed a second bum clenching bezel change yesterday. Chuffed with the result - pip matched!

That is a very nice Gilt GMT.another mid 60's with shrunken lume at 6,9 and 12
There’s some great watches in this thread - I’ll play – Gotta love Tritium
I’ll be sad to see this one go – my 9411
This was the last of the tritium GMT Master II – From 1997, so a modern variation
Look familiar? I’m coming back to this beauty :)
Tritium and a bit of red.
