    Thanks for looking.

  2. Great job Uwe :1a: :1a: :1a: .

    Still have to shoot some decent pics of the job you did to my BK GMT II

    so the RWG community can see another good examples of your skills.

    Carpe Diem

    Cats

    Thanks Cats. I am glad that you are happy with your GMT :thumbsupsmileyanim:

    WOW! Great job C!

    Did you use a micro-polish, like the stuff they use to get fine scratches out of black paint on cars?

    No, it is a very special polish that reduce scratches to nanoscale.

    How the hell did you clean the dial of the polishing compound? :mellow:

    With warm water and my special crystal cleaner.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 lume isn´t blue. It is Superluminova C1 green.
