New Arrival-Birth year GMT
1963. The watch looks much better than I do at 47 !







Lume shot!



That's after a charge from a UV flashlight, it fades very quickly to a faint glow in a matter of seconds.

Hi J, nice old Pepsi.

Good luck on your search! Mine was produced second quarter 65, and I was born in April, so I figure we are both pretty close to the same age.
