what is luminova?
I was just wondering how much glow to expect from the luminovagraphs at the endbut the question is? how much time do you have to put the watch under light to have it glowing the whole night? from tavcochem web page:...LumiNova was chosen as Most Innovative Product in Japan in 1993."Glows 10 times brighter, 10 times longer"LumiNova, is a class of newly developed phosphorescent (glow-in-the-dark) pigments which are based on Strontium Oxide Aluminate Chemistry. They are drastically different from conventional phosphorescent pigments which are either based on Zinc Sulfide or on radioisotopes for their self-luminous properties.LumiNova, was invented and developed by NEMOTO CO. LTD. of Tokyo, Japan. Nemoto has been in the luminous pigments business since 1941 and is one of the leading phosphorescent pigment manufacturers in the world.LumiNov, Pigments are in the TSCA inventory and NEMOTO CO LTD., Ltd. was granted the US Patent in 1995 and since then in many other countries worldwide.LumiNova

Ever dreamt about a watch that doesn't exist?
Hi peopleLast night I had a wierd but nice dream. No it's not a mucky dream, just a nice one.I dreamt that my Wife & I were in an AD and I (as usual) was looking at various watches.One in particular caught my eye and I tried it on.It was an Omega Aqua Terra chrono. However I've never seen an AT like this one and so far as I know it doesn't exist!It was in a blued steel case and bracelet but only slightly, just enough to give a slight blueish tint to the steel. It had rose gold markers and sub dial surrounds but I can't recall the dial colour, I think it was also a slightly blued effect again. This worked really well with the blued effect and I wanted it very muchIt gets betterMy wife turns to me and suggests we pop along to my usual AD and buy itAt this point the alarm goes off and the dream is goneMy wife is still sleeping soundly next to me, blissfully unaware that she had agreed to buy me this (or any other) watch during the nightOh well easy come, easy go as they sayMaybe it's

Potentially looking pick up my first Breitling
Hi all,I have recently been looking I to adding another watch to my collection.I current have a vintage Rolex Date and an Omega Constellation which I love but both are on metal straps. I have been looking for something with a hide or rubber strap to have something different.I had seen a Hublot MDM which I liked which I put up in another part of the forum but I have came across this Breitling Blackbird.I am well aware that it is late 90s - early 00s however Iwas looking to see if anyone either has this watch or could give me some feedback on it?Any comments either positive or negative would be welcome.

New Planet Ocean commercial
Omega are advertising the planet ocean loads on UK TV at the moment, not just as a sponsor but a proper commercial.
