  7. frontal action, I have to admit the rehaught is breathtaking every time i pick this thing up. Lume, its not great but its there. Left is GMT on the right is my BK EXP2
  8. I've even tried drilling it out, but it's nearly impossible to ge a good hold of the dot, you don't want to damage it either. Could you just overlay a coat? Good thing you have practice dials Goin workshop is on facebook, he posts tons of pictures of lumeing in progress. You inspired me to open up my beater GMT IIc and relume it. I wanted to do it quick and easy. Relume it with the dial and hands attached. However I'm in the same situation with the makers - dots there's not enough space for a top coat of lume. Maybe sourcing new modern dial dots is the key. That way if you lose one or botch one you have back ups and something to practice on.
  9. Ill soak the dial dots / markers over night in acetone. Then stick them to an index card with double sideded tape. I can't then press into the dot and the old lume pops out or the dot shots across the room. I do the same with the hands, soak them and the old lume softens. I gently scrape it out, then apply my special mix. The key with the hands is 1 getting the correct thickness so the lume spreads on nicely from the back while NOT messing up the front. 2 not scratching the front of the hands, Good luck, let's see some pics!!!!! My infos all trial and mostly error, it would be cool if a pro would chime in
  10. Sweet kicks! Sub/sea/GMTs are looking great on leather
  11. closing it out, here in Hawaii with my fresh out the box BK GMTIIc
  12. Looks awesome, I wish some one could kit this. (supply all the needed materials for the conversion) Or supply a parts list so we can order the parts and give it a run. @grifter or sneed , what hand sizes do you end up using ? Thanks
  13. Sultion 1, Spend $100 and by a TC (use the search function) dail and hands (assuming you have Swiss or Asian Swiss clone). Sultion 2 Seriously, if you can find a friendly watch shop in your city they can pop that marker off and reattach it. Your looking at 50$. I would never send anything back to china. (only my preference) Sultion 3 Send it to VAC and have him lume the s*** out of it , while straighting that marker $ 120 Where do you live, maybe some one can point you in the right direction for a repair shop
  14. I've got a set from a star time super pack. I'll give you for them for free. Just pm
  15. Beautiful pieces ! Wear them well. Good photos as well
