new Air king pic and question.



The blue markers and hands (luminous?) seem to reflect light of the sun and I believe I saw a night pic and it appears the reflection of the flash would light them up but I quess my question is are they supposed to be night glowing? I don t believe mine do. Just want to make sure its right as I just got it. Thanks.

Ok, you have embarrassed me into the closet.
It appears when I looked last night they had not spent enough time in the daylight because they did nt appear to glow. Now after letting it sit under a bright light for an hour they lite up fine. Thanks.

Make me an offer.... I think I should have looked at the plain Perpetual as I like the DJ but do not like the date on my watch. It figures I see that after I have mine. I do love the Silver face with the blue markers.

I'd like to make you an offer but right now I'm looking for another grail. If you still have it in a month I'd def make the offer. Keep me in mind if still around

The Rolex luminous that's had colour added is much weaker than the normal. It's like that on the Milgauss with the orange, the Perpetuals with the pink, and the AKs with the blue.
