[SeikoSRPD59] Not sure why other watchmakers don't look at Seiko, and think "we need good lume like them!" Am I crazy? (alien.top)

Seiko lume is excellent, but a lot of micro brands are heaping on the BGW9 and C3 and give Seiko Lumibrite a run for their money. At the end of the day tho, Ball Watch tritium tubes bests them all

Tritium in fact doesnt glow as bright as phosphorescent lume, but it doesnt need to be charged and also dont fade (for at least 25 years lol)

I’ve got a diver like that with heaps of BGW9. Fully lumed bezel to top things off; thing glows.
