lume material on the rep Milgauss? Is it Tritium?

[coffeendonut]

Hi all, I'm a noob rep fan and having lots of fun in the replica-watch.info website here.

I want to order a replica Milgauss - specifically from Trevor, but am concerned about the material the lume material is made of, specifically if it's Tritium, as Tritium can be dangerous if somehow ingested/inhaled (not that I'm planning to do that but I'm paranoid!)

Does anyone know what the lume material is in the Milgauss replica and if it's Tritium?

Thank you kindly,
coffeendonut

Basically,Tritium produces its own light I believe. So, it is always glowing. I do not think you will find that on this particular replica watch. In fact, most lume found in replica watches is not that great. As a result of this, there is a pretty robust aftermarket for lume modification on many varities of replica watches.

Nope, no tritium in reps, worse luck.
Tritium is actually safe for the wearer, the danger was from the application and even then it's slight. The radiation from tritium is so weak it won't escape thru a case so you would have to do something very stupid to harm yourself.

Now radium (used before tritium) was another matter, that was bad.

Tritium tubes would be great, but alas no luck.
Lume on reps, as most watches, is completely safe and harmless. Sadly, it is also typically pretty sucky.

Short answer. If it were Tritium it would actually glow.........

Super-Luminova is non-toxic, isn't it? If you ate a handful, I think the worst that would happen is...

Well, you can use your imagination!

lol, you will probaly get the runs..

how can a question about lume be without me participating? Superluminova is not poisonous and not toxic, but it is not edible too!

For the op, tritium is almost never found in reps and does not glow very bright with a short life time of glow. Superlume, for that matters loses only 10-15% of it's glow in 20years

I'd be a very happy man if you could find me some tritium powder tho! Yeah, I know, almost impossible.

Tritum is a controlled item in Singapore, I used to have tritum signboards that glow by themselves, but the government made a meal of it and stopped all my sales of mildly radioactive substances, lol.

 

[trailboss99]

Isn't everything a controlled item in Singapore?

Did you ever order the watch from trevor? Im interseted in getting a milgauss myself. Im wondering who offers the best one for around $100.

That would probably be Robert at T4D, at $79 for one, or a package of all 3 dial types for $200.

Hi kendog,

I made my order and am waiting for it. Actually I think Trevor may be busy because I haven't received a reply to my email requesting a tracking # / ETA yet but if you would like me to give you my thoughts on it when I get it let me know (probably PM me is best?).

I was concentrating on the ~$200 mark so I didn't pay attention to the $100 mark.. from what I can tell trevor, hont & time4direct are good options for the ~$200 mark.

Isn't tritium a gas, that's why it's incased in glass tubes.

 

[Margaret301]

Yes, tritium is encapsulated in a glass or plastic vial that is quite strong. i searched about that for i want to gave gift my father a classy watch. My first preference was rep Milgauss then i know about this gas is harmful then i bought.

Tritium can be found in Luminox watches.
Works for about 10 years.
