Just for fun, what would you do if chromalight turned this color?
Everyone loves a pleasant patina on a vintage watch. We assume that chromalight will likely not age, certainly not in the same way as tritium.
But it’s early days. Who really knows how it will age? What if there were some sort of global event, be it weather related, or radiation, or a solar flare, that changed all chromalight to hot pink? What would you do if one day you woke up, looked at your wrist, and saw this? Remember, this event changed all chromalight to pink, so a replacement dial would also be pink. They’d have to come up with a new formula for white and that could take time. Would you sell the watch? Keep it and wear something else until a fix is available, or rock it? |

I'd keep it and wear it. Problem is the next service at the RSC would probably take care of it and replace the dial and hands which would be a shame.

Keep it, everyone is so worried about prices, double the asking price for the "rare solar flare dial".

Id rock it. I wear pink shirts, ties or socks on occasion. It would look great with any of them.
