Phosphors aren't very bright in my Speedmaster

I have a speedmaster 3513.30, which I bought second hand, it is a year old, but was never worn, and was kept in box. I've been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I notice that the phosphors on the hands are only visible if it's very dark in the room, or if I hold it beside a light for a while, it will stay very bright, but not for too long. My friend's seamaster phosphors are much brighter. Anyone know what the reason for this may be?
