    Question about Tritium Replacement for Jellyfish

    When the time comes to replace the tritium tubes in the Jellyfish - is it possible to send them back to Prometheus for replacement?

    If this info is posted elsewhere, sorry!

    I don't know for Prometheus but Ball (another brand) said that they would replace the tubes during regular service of the watch if needed.

    BALL Trainmaster Cleveland Express Chronometer - CASIO Illuminator 60 Laps Memory - CASIO G-shock GW-9200-1 (Riseman) - CASIO G-shock G-5600KG (Khaki Green) - Longines DolceVita L5.655.4.71.6 - PARNIS Portuguese Hommage Hand-wound (Seagull 3621) - SEAGULL M192S Mechanical Chronograph - TISSOT Seastar II Automatic Day/Date - YEMA Quartz Chronograph.




    Please feel free to use the above logos for your signature, even if you never wear a watch.

    I'm guessing they buy the face/hands with tubes from MB Microtec. I also think if your wearing the watch for 20 years, the watch movement will be pretty worn as well.

    MB Microtec trit is the good stuff. i've seen canadian tubes that only glowed for 5 years tops! personally I have tons of trit on things but not on my watches. i really prefer lume paint on watches. trit makes all but the tactical/diving watches look icky.

    Thanks for the replies. I remember reading that the half life is around 10-12 years - and just in case it somehow bothers me =)

    I have two Microtec Tritium-dialed watches that are 14 and 15 years old respectively. Both are brighter than any of my new Superluminova dialed watches. You should be okay with your Jellyfish.
