minus-squaremuphasta@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoMy dad gave me his 6105-8000 that he bought in Japan in 1970 on his way home from Vietnam. It’s lume is as good as some of my newer (cheap) watches. I don’t have a pic of the lume here at work, but here is a pic cuz it is an awesome watch!! https://preview.redd.it/8z1k178j5dwb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05f17b1c0515ea2315ad81960efa4cdad104830f
minus-squaretoxicavenger70@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year ago lume is as good as some of my newer (cheap) watches Because that watch has been relumed. That is not the factory lume. If it was it would not glow more than a few minutes and it would be corroding.
