Watches under UV light
I have a small UV flashlight that I use to charge the lume on my watches.
I had noticed that whenever I used it to charge my Sinn 303, the red chrono hands take on a super bright orange glow. In addition, the tachymeter bezel has some markings in red, and they also seem to "come alive" under that UV light, and take on a somewhat eerie glow.

You can also see what fluoresces on your watches.
