Have you found any that you can turn even when hands are sweety? Most dive watches I’ve had are hard to turn without dry hands. For that reason I gravitate toward super compressor watches.
Check out marathon watches. They’re made for special forces and can be gripped while wearing thick gloves in water. Very cool watches.
This one has seen some shit. Trit's about gone, but it works fine. https://image.nostr.build/131da7c356d947555715693dac7949ad2809284638862ca29af87c1c4c3e9842.jpg
I thought the trit had a pretty long life, how long have you had it?
Made in 2006 and I got it in 2007, so it's been glowing for a minute.
Which model is this? Beautiful watch!
That's a GSAR. I believe they made some sterile versions that year, also.
Thank you. 🙏
No prob. Here's all the old tritium stuff I have. The GSAR, 2005 Navigator's, a '90s Luminox, and a Traser Code Blue. https://i.nostr.build/kZo35.jpg And just for comparison, here's a Seiko Monster that's only been in dim room lighting. These are shot 30s at f/5.6 and ISO 400. https://i.nostr.build/5GgqB.jpg @unknown
All green except for an orange at the 12. The bezel zero and second hand are normal luminescent paint, but that little triangle fell out long ago.
Thanks, I always wanted the Code Blue. The blue tritium just looks so cool. I actually bought that one with Bitcoin back at the good ol' 20k ATH.
