Nope it’s not. It’s the first generation on luminova (not super luminova). It’s a Swiss only dial from 1998, I believe the first year for this model without tritium

Got it verified by Giovanni Passalacqua in SF (old RSC) and Mike from Rolliworks. I'm confident in this piece :)

Wow! That is really cool! Where did you get it and how on Earth do you keep it wound? Do you have to wear it around your neck like Flava Flav for a day or do you shake it like a "shake weight?" Google "SNL Shake Weight" if you don't know the reference. Hilarious sketch...

I'm not trying to steal your longstanding record of listening to Flava while using your shake weight. I know how protective you are of your 'special talent'.

South Park Shake Weight... watch it.
