Just wondering if anyone knows what the stone is at the top of the bezel on the sub. I know it glows in the dark...not sure what it is though.

It's called a pearl. On vintage pieces they were tritium. On modern they're luminova.

That's cool, Mike

I was afraid that if I got it wet I would start growing a bean stalk off of my wrist. Now I can take it surfing again

Now would you believe it's a small luminova dot with WG surround, all nicely covered up by a sapphire crystal? And that's the truth!!
