Thanks merc. I've thought a lot about 'correct' hands. Obviously Bulova modeled this watch for the advert with the spade type hands. I bought this watch with these hands and imagine they've been on it for decades. Question is - "why would they have been changed?" I know there dozens of reasons they could have been damaged but it just seems so unlikely. I wonder if the factory didn't just use what they have available. It's a thought.

I use a light box for my photos but it doesn't make a difference for the 'glowing photos' but you will need a solid mount for your camera - I use a tripod. Charge the lume so it glows brightly and work fast. Push the shutter button half way so the camera focuses then turn off the lights and finish depressing the shutter release. Voila! The trick is that automatic cameras need enough light to focus. If you use an SLR you could do it all in manual mode. I experiment by leaving a small amount of ambient light in the room or the photos will be very dark and all I see are the glowing numbers. You do understand that the dial and hands on most of my watches have been relumed. I'm anxious to see your results.
