C3 lume markers

Is it just me or the rep dial C3 lume markers fade and "turn" ivory-like after awhile? Especially after being in the sun a few months?

Maybe it's just me?

Both Luminova and Super-luminova should keep the color of uncharged and intensity of charged lume for many many years.

Was it relumed? What product? Mix ratio? ...tell us more.

Nope, just standard factory dial. I WANT it to be ivory color. Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

Luminova wouldn't discolor like that as it aged would it? I can see it with tritium, but Luminova?

Definitely not...it looks like some people like baked goods more than others - LOL!

oh yeah! if only they produce a t-swiss-t dial! i'll bake the hell out of it!

it works w submariner dials too! just be careful of the gloss paint. i'm lucky to have a swiss t<25 dial.
