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

My dad gave me his 6105-8000 that he bought in Japan in 1970 on his way home from Vietnam. It's lume is as good as some of my newer (cheap) watches.
I don't have a pic of the lume here at work, but here is a pic cuz it is an awesome watch!!

Because that watch has been relumed. That is not the factory lume. If it was it would not glow more than a few minutes and it would be corroding.
