Thank You, Yes I've been really lucky in that the matte dial has seen almost no visual degrading of the tritium, it does however no longer have any luminescence. Over the years I have had to replace a few of the components to include: hands, crystal, bezel ring insert, and the crown and tube. Other than that it is all original. Some would say that replacing these components reduces it's resale value but it doesn't matter because I will never sell it.

Here's the pride a joy: Thinking of going with the black bezel insert one of these days, but think I might just screw it up
