Gen dial - polishing and hardcore reluming
caruwe replied to caruwe's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
Thanks Cats. I am glad that you are happy with your GMT No, it is a very special polish that reduce scratches to nanoscale. With warm water and my special crystal cleaner. -
Yesterday I received a gen Rolex Tritium dial and hands from a nice member. My job: reluming with Superluminova C1 Grade A The tritium and the dial was not in good conditions and I decided to polish it after removing the Indezes. Please see the pictures below. Here the “lume” before. You can see the lume is weak and you see black fluff on the Indezes. They are from the shipping package and I think the scratches are also from shipping sponge. Here my polishing compound. On the next picture you can see that you can not compare the old gen Indezes with the fake Indezes. The gens are without base plate and have 2 feets. To relume without base plate is very challenging… The result: You can still see a few light scratches but I don’t wanted to polish more. After color paint comes metal… Thanks for your interest.

I am looking forward for requests - only send me a PM

A member sent me his AP Orchard Road for a little beautification. Today I finished it. The work I have done: Double AR Reluming dial and hands AR´d cyclop Screws polished It is hard to photograph the new cyclop but it looks good in natural. Here are a few pictures: The new Cyclops The result The lume isn´t blue. It is Superluminova C1 green. The watch before Thanks for looking

Many thanks for your opinion. I decided to go with option 2 and removed the old "lume" paste because it doesn´t shine. After test with a few different lume I decide to mix my own lume and varnish. What do you think about the result?
-
I have both dials here and can change the lume colour - that´s not the problem. What about the t in feets. They are different...
-
Hi experts, I need your opinions what dial is closer to gen: 1.) or 2.) Thank you very much in advance for your answer Uwe

AP today relumed it by my own

The original tint of my AR is golden/brown for sapphire glasses! But if you clean it (before installation) with something like nano coating etc. it can turn a into bluish tint.
