I’m thoroughly enjoying the dial on this JKF 1680 Red Dial Sub - the crown, font, and alignments are all close enough to pass, particularly on the wrist. But what’s been bothering me is the lume. It’s very, very flat. I decided to learn how to relume a dial and hands. I needed a handful of things to get it done: Tutorial on luming: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f6/watch-luminizing-tutorial-673983.html Lume: www.noctilumina.com I contacted Scott at Noctilume for recommendations on mixing a high-glow, “vintage” lume. He was very helpful! Recommended I mix his G15F with AG40F to get a light-yellow appearance but high-glow output. I ended up buying my binder, pigment, oilers, and mixing bowl from him. Tools: - Set of Oilers (fine and medium used most) - Ceramic mixing bowl - Ag40F pigment - G15F pigment - Binder 3 - 3x Loupe - Paint Thinner - Xacto Knife Practice: I used images of 1680 dials, printed and lacquered (to scale) as practice runs. This worked very well for me. I got used to working under the loupe, mixing, and applying lume. In the end I think it turned out quite nice. Clean edges, nice pillowing, and good color consistency. After it cures for 72hrs I’ll reassemble and get back to wearing this. Thanks for looking!

Lol yes go mad. It is an awful lot to spend on a rep but it may be so worth it.

I am aware it is a SD 43mm. Still i stand by my opnions. Gen crystals have an AR (what u called blue) coating on the 2.5x cyclops. Im not saying this is perfect. I only got it to compare not pass it off as a gen. I have a few authentic rolexes for that. The reason i said I could get a gen bezel insert for $400 is i have connections (I am a watchmakers apprentice) and i know some ebay sellers who could get me one. I respect your opinion and wish u the best, therfore i did ask for opinions. Thanks and have a great day Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
