Nice. That must glow quite well, yes? Love the red accents.

Glows nicely but nothing like some C3 or BGW9 lumed Seiko dials

I use Noctilumina pigments and binders.

As a matter of fact I recently acquired a vintage SKX007 dial with darkened lume and color is pretty close. I need to do more research on these dials though, I don't know if they had tritium lume?
