Seeing in the Dark: Luminescence in Watches
Wrist watches are naturally quite useful for their intended functions, as we watch-nerds know, especially when you can see them. When it comes to low (or no) light conditions, however, they can get tricky to read. The problem of legibility goes back as far as the history of the wristwatch itself and as technology has evolved, so has the legibility of our watches. A variety of materials and chemicals have been used over the years to bring luminescence, or lume, to wrist watches, with the first solutions coming in the early 1900’s.The early practice of applying lume to wrist watches, around the time of World War I, involved mixing the radioactive material radium with zinc sulfide. Radium had been known since it’s discovery in the late 1800’s and alone in proper doses it has some luminescent properties glowing blue. However the glow of radium alone was not bright enough and the amount required to make it useful would emit too much harmful radiation.if the dial says ̶

Its Late
I have only just come across this, I know its little late, but maybe others have not seen itMOVADOAnnounced: May 28, 2010The Chicago Tribune reports that Movado Group Inc., the Swiss watchmaker and jeweler, plans to close its money-losing retail division by the end of June in a move to turn around the company. It will close all 27 U.S. stores. The company said it doesn't intend to run any store closing or liquidation sales, a move to protect its brand name.

Please help in directing me to a new pp
Ok Mates, here it is... I am looking to spend no more than 50K (+- 10K) for another PP. This will be my last one. I currently have the 5167 on rubber and it is probably the best sports watch, all purpose PP I have ever owned. After combing the previous posts I have narrowed my choices to the following pieces, but want to make sure I haven't left any potential suitors out of the lineup. I am only interested in white gold and know that everyone's extensive knowledge can only help me choose what will be my last PP. BTW, I am looking to purchase new since I want my name on the certificate. I plan on passing the watch down several years down the road which is one reason for this. 5205 - Nice, but not thrilled with the dial choices. Afraid that they will get washed out at night and I will have difficultly reading them. 5146G cream - Top contender, however I am concerned that it may be too modern of a look. Dial is not too cluttered. 5396G - Very nice. Somewhat thicker than the 514

Visit to Japan - Nakano Broadway
I've just come home from a week long holiday to Japan; it was my first time there. Spent most of my days in Tokyo, with a 2d1n trip to Hakone-Gotemba. Naturally, I've read a lot about Jack Road and watch hunting in Tokyo (a lot of it from here on TRF), so I planned a full day of just browsing for watches. I found out much later, that Jack Road is actually within a sort of mall or shopping complex. About 3 storeys high and inside, a whole chunk of shops that sells preowned bags, watches, jewelry... basically luxury goods. There are also magazine, comic and toy stores; it can get a little confusing. Since I read that Jack Road was on the third floor, that's where I started. I think two of the major stores on the third floor are Jack Road and Kame-Kichi. There's also a Betty Road which caters to watches for women. Once you take the escalator that goes directly from ground floor (1F) to third floor (3F), turn right and you'll see Jack Road. Kame-Kichi is somewhere along the left of the esc

Tudor Black Rose and Tudor Black Bay One
I finally found a Ranger bracelet so I can do this with the Black Rose. Here is the Black Bay One. There was around 3000 made of the Black Rose vs 1 made of the Black Bay One. The Black Bay One sold for nearly $400,000. I just needed the ranger bracelet to make mine feel like a one-that way secretly it feels like I have a $400k watch on me :)Do you like this look?
