Rolexs don't need lights, they have radioluminescent hands and markers 9on applicable models)....it was the ever-glowing hands on my dad's Submariner (he bought it about 40 years ago) that first caught my eye. Today I have a watch with radioluminescent hands/markers, but mine has the Smith&Wesson name on it.
A hell of a watch, but I did a number on the case/crystal/band...I may buy a non-tritium version just to transfer the movement/face over so I don't have to spend $400 on another one. Reason is the case and band are solid titanium, I was being a idiot and treated it like it was indestructable...it's not. It's a hodgepodge of abrasions and scratches now.
BTW, people buy Rolex's for their consistent accuracy in timekeeping among other reasons. The new-rich are more likely to buy some gaudy crap as opposed to a subtle timepiece like a Rolex. Admitted some of the boutique makers have awesome goods, but it's not worth the prices IMO.
