What You Want To Know About Watch Luminant
Have you ever thought about what causes your watch to glow in the dark?This subject has a very colorful and dubious history. It started early in the 20th century, around 1910, when some companies began to use radium on watch dials and hands to create a ¡°glow in the dark" effect. Radium is an almost pure white alkaline radioactive earth metal, and is found in nature in uranium ores. It was discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898. What Marie Curie discovered was that a test tube of radium emitted a ¡°fairy-like glow,¡± and she kept a vial next to her bedside as a kind of night light. She further discovered that the glow wasn¡¯t coming from the radium itself, but from the ionization of the materials surrounding the radium, which when ionized, emit light (glows). The watch companies added materials to the?radium paint which caused the materials to glow, thus lighting up the numbers and hands in the dark.To the wearer, what a conversation piece their watch became: outside at night or in a

A Hamilton Forum Request
Rusty you stated that the Hamilton Review thread may go away and be dispersed to the Review and Reference Forum. As a Moderator I would suspect that you are doing the right thing. But here is a request.......I don't know the Forum business.But I would think that there is some value of keeping Hamilton Review "sticky" in the Hamilton Forum.I think that this little test shows the value of having the reviews of one brand in their own Brand Forum. It is obvious that people are not interested in searching around for their reviews. The Hamilton Review "sticky" has 12 reviews and 5,539 hits in 15 days! The Review and Reference Forum has 47 Reviews and 2,774 hits in as long as it has been counted.So I'ma comin' out, guns ablazin' if ewe try to take our review thread away from us! Come on fellers, tell Rusty how you feel....by the way, where's the Rooster stand on the subject!Back to being serious...Rusty.....We (those that feel different please speak up) take great satisfaction of what happens

Can't hand-wind new BLNR
I'd been wearing my BLNR for a couple of months now, except on weekends. I recently sold and then re-bought a 116610LV, so I've worn that for two weeks. I grabbed my BLNR this morning, and when I went to wind it, the crown just spins without actually winding the spring. Meaning, I unscrew it, it pops out to the first position, and then if you turn it there is no tick tick tick while it's winding, it just spins. I can pull it out to 2 and 3 to set the time/date/etc., but no matter how many times I push it back, it won't wind.It's just been sitting in its box on my desk for two weeks. Is there some reason it should have gotten like this? I hate to send it in for service when it's only 3 months old. Never had this happen before.

Awful Concept
