paralizer

Why would you want to lume the engraving? the original isn't lumed. Just a project you're working on?

Never seen a Rolex with the lume in the bezel. That is pretty awesome. good luck with the build.

Can't find the link for the tutorial but I can try to expalin it below: remove CG pin, remove lever, squeeze hot glue in lever hole and scrape off excess. place lever back in CG. remove glue from gun but leave plugged in. heat up pin with gun tip and push pin back through CG pin hole. the gun will slowly heat up the pin which will melt through the glue until it is in again. then make sure it is flush and let it cool. should do the trick. I hope that isnt too confusing but its way easier than it sounds. I do it all the time to the watches I make for friends.

Looking good. Now give that think some character!

fantasy?

Where did you get that case/dial? Bezel looks thin and dial looks undersized. Lume work looks great. But just asking

Super jealous looks great PBS

With results like that, I need to send you a watch. looks spectacular

I need more tools. Awesome job The Zigmeister. Love that movement. Better than even a hamilton 917 or 921. It's a shame they used to hide those movements inside the pocketwatches.

Let me rephrase my statement. that level of craftmanship makes it look easy. I can certainly respect the time and effort put into a project like this. And I can understand the price as well. I have a mechanical/industrial engineering background so I've spent time on a lathe before. I'd really like to find a friend who has a shop in his back yard and try my hands at something like this myself. Either way, thank you for sharing and I'm anxiously awaiting an update on those dials. Congrats for your patience and drive to take on a project like this.

Kind of makes it look easy there....if you had the right equipment. pretty sweet thread, thanks for sharing.

I thought about trying this the other day. I got some graphite and paint on my wood desk while watchmaking and used a magic eraser to get it off and thought to myself....hmm, i bet you could polish SS with this. Thanks for posting. I'm interested to try this out now.

A. Douard movement. could possible used in a panerai vintage, but not a cortebert, smaller diameter than the cortebert.

All my friends know I'm into watches. A while back I made a homage for myself and my friends began commenting so I've begun making some to sell to them. I'm using standard rep cases and altering the dials with some matte finishes depending on the model. I'm using glo-inc for lume and its turning out great. Here are a few i finished this weekend. I still suck at getting the lighting right in my apartment so forgive the pics. Thanks for viewing. I'd be happy to answer questions. Thanks to all the folks posting means and methods in the forums, I couldn't do it without your help.

same ones. Just pop them out of the steel bracelet and put them back in then thread the nato through. and post some pics!
