I have not put this watch down since getting it back from my dad. He bought it in 1977 and used it daily until 1989, then I wore it from 1990-2012, then I returned it to him and he wore it 2012-2015, and now is back in my possession.

I may get a luminova service dial next for the 40 more years of use...

Am I the only one that does not care much about the tritium patina? I know that collectors go gaga about it, but it is impractical since it does not have any lume and has a life of 12 years. Also, it is radioactive which is the reason the original hands got corroded...

Great story on a great watch. You should start a separate thread on this one. You'd get tons of opinions, I'm sure. I'd be curious to see what oher members have to say. For me, keeping my dad's watch as-is would be very important, but I'm sentimental that way.

That appears to be a tritium service dial. The original, if you still have it, would be worth something. Maybe you'll get into vintage one day, or not
