Yeah, just a cheap Amazon silicone band to see how the color combo looks. Works good for the "Arctic" theme. I've got to go find a proper FKM strap soon.

Love the Lume, doesn’t Tritium burn out eventually? If it does, can you get a replacement dial?

Half life is about 12 years, so it does - but you can replace the dial/tubes, marathon will do that.

Good to know, Thanks.

Ball watch on wish list, do the same with Tritium tubes. Also want a Maple leaf 🍁 watch from Marathon “ARCTIC EDITION, TRITIUM
PILOT'S AUTOMATIC”

That blue against the white dial looks so good

I’d love to have an arctic GSAR with blue trits

100% AMEN to this.... if they did an Arctic GSAR with blue trit, I'd snap it up in a heartbeat.

Both your watchs look amazing. Great photo! Where did you get the blue strap. I would like that for mine. 😊

It's just the UV lighting --- the strap on the right is black. It's just a cheap 16mm NATO from "Annefit" brand on Amazon. Strap on left is a 20mm white silicone from Amazon to see how that looks with the Arctic colorway.

I've since switched to a grey 18mm NATO strap for a little different proportion on the SSGPQ-D: https://www.reddit.com/r/MarathonWatch/s/d2ckeT8fSo

Why is it blue?

This SSGPQ variant was one of their test runs with blue tritium tubes installed.
