    Info about GTLS (Tritium) tubes

    I've had 52 Ball watches over a ten year period and have yet to have a failure. I know of two 14 year old Ball watches that are going strong so no quite the exception. I've seen about five reported tube failures over the years and across multiple forums. Now keep in mind tube grade may come into play for some brands. I've found most GTLS Marathons to be quite dim even when new. I don't see them making 15 years.
