  1. its a service dial so it will glow green. get a set of TC sub hands and either a service lumi insert or get the yuki pear relumed with superlume and all will match. personally i wouldnt mix tritium and lumi parts, especially dial and hands. but thats just my personal preference
  2. yes, not hard to apply either. stick the hands opening on a tooth pick upside down and apply. build up the layers gradually allowing for time to dry. if you accidentally get paint somewhere you dont want you can gently use the broad end of the toothpick to peel it away even when dry. just dont use sandpaper as it will reveal the brass underneath. heres the iodine and bake treatment i used on this MBW 5513 many years ago. applied to hands and markers. couldnt find a pic of the enamel paint relume ive done before but i was way more satisfied with the outcome of acrylic paint than the iodine one. to give you an idea of what the acrylic ivory paint would look like heres a terrible relume job i did to this dial. YEAH I ALREADY SAID IT WAS BAD. first attempt ever. just picture the texture and color on the hands and no outside the lines.
  3. iodine +toaster oven OR remove the old lume with acetone or isopropyl then just relume with ivory acrylic paint. gives a nice texture, no glow, and an aged color i prefer the latter method
  4. is that the gasket or metal in the back there?
  5. precision looks good could be worth $800 USD
  6. cartel is definitely better for 1/3 the price both the mbw and cartel needs the same mods to be decent. the bezel and case back on the mbw may have a slight edge in accuracy over the cartel though. i would love to try and thin down a cartel case one day. cgs, lugs, bezel ring and deepen the teeth with a file.
  7. doesnt the original omega 8400 movement stutter more than a rolex movement? it does have a slower beat
  8. a lot of work, but not bad at all. good job, fun times. better dial and hands will bring it to the next level
  9. by-tor, The Zigmeister, ronin where are all you guys? forgetting a lot of other people im sure, some have passed
  10. that is a really nice looking rep ! they have certainly come a long way
  11. hands themselves are slipping. might need new hands or new movement pinion. either way i would just exchange it for a new one
  12. that seller always asks way too much for everything they got. ALWAYS
