I really like the look of dials with out the silver surrounds on the markers, a bit like the 1680, shame it cant be done with out the marker all together, but im sure it would not look great, as real dials like this are screen printed and would be realy hard to do by hand.
Well done
thank you for your warm words.
this are pictures of relumed PO's but with the chrome surounds on the markers (it's a harder lumejob), but i prefer full lumed markers...it gives the watch a vintage look, like you allready comented.

there is no doubt....that lumejob is perfect. this are nice dials for reluming.
thank you for the pictures.

Nice setup. Great job.
How do you scrape the old lume off before you apply the new?
When you apply it do you do it one thin layer at a time alloying it to dry in between?
Usil
i carefull remove the old lume with a sharp and small sscrewdriver (very small).
two coats uf lume are enough (first coat drys 45min befor i aply the second one).
-
Love the brightness to the lume.
Not to be a critic, it appears that the lume went over the metal surrounds of the markers. Not sure if it looks difference once dried though.
you are right...this watch irelumed the whole indexes, because i wanted big luminous indexes (its my daily beater and i like bright watches).
my other PO's are more acurate relumed.
here you can see some pictures from an acurate and more decent lumejob i did, you can see the surrrounds are not lumed...this is for sure the better lumejob (note, the bezel pearl is not yet relumed on that watch).
-
I was told by Angus via email, that you can't remove the bezel on the Steelfish, due to the way the watch case was constucted.
I would be very interested to hear if anyone HAS managed to remove the bezel, because the bezel is the weakest part of the watch, in regards to the accuracy of the pearl, 15, 30 and 45 markers.
Cheers
like The Zigmeister allready said; it should be posible.
on the ultimate PO you can remove the crystal from the pearl, but unfortunately i have no steelfish to tell you the same.
this is how the pearl on my PO looks after reluming it.

the PO's are becoming my favorites reps and i'm still collecting more of them...so i decided to mod one of the cheaper asian models which is my daily beater.
i greased the Oring, fixed the heliumvalve with locktite (to prevent the possible loos of the crown) and also regulated the movement (this asian movements are keeping good time results).
since the stock lume is decent i decided to relume the dial and hands with a custom lume (which mixed it my self by adding different pigments).i know, the lume colour is not the same as the original one, but since i decided to relume the whole indexes to get bigger lume markers it would be in any way not "acurate" compared to the original one, but i dont care about it.
finally i reasembled the watch and pressure tested it to 6atm.
i'm happy with the results...i really like this watch.
ps: sorry for my bad english.

No mine came with no gaskets on the He valve, I tried to fit some rollies crown tube gaskets I had but they didnt fit.
thats really scary...both of my recent PO's have gaskets, i have no idea why yours has no gasket.
-
Here is some pics of mine I had taken when I first received it and to try and show what Usil is saying.
As you can see basically the He valve is screwed onto a screw which has a spring on the outside end (between valve and case) which when the valve is screwed out, the spring pushes the He valve out away from the case.
As you can see there is no gaskets.
bazz
i cant see any gasket on that crown...dit you remove it?
-
There are no screws, it is just a post sticking into the watch. It is supposed to be a press fit but because of the sloppy tolerances it sometimes floats around and spins when you turn it. If you can get it tighter on your watch your tolerances are marginally better and allow for a little press fit to take place. The looser the tolerances the more liklely it will leak. I would never advise another person with a rep that it is ok to swim with them. Way too risky.
Usil
the HE valve has no function, it's only a wannabe.
to guarantee tightness, the crown must alltime be screwed on (the crown itself has a small gasket). all my PO's have passed the water resistance test up to 8atm without problems, they should be water resistant (like the sellers claim).

Like to buy 2! i'm in Portugal (EU).
Regards
i'm also in europe..spain!

The black strap is the same as mine. It will not fit to a 42mm PO without either drilling extra lug holes, or somehow cutting a new hole through the strap for the bar to go through (probably 1-2mm closer to the notch holes)
thank you teejay:
what does you think, will this straps fit on the seamaster reps without any mods (ha, ha...now i need to find the right watch for this straps)..!
-
The only rubber strat that will fit a 42mm 4th gen PO properly, is a genuine one. There is a rep 20mm rubber strap out there, but it only fits certain 42mm and 45mm models.
No idea where you'll find a bracelet, other than a member with a spare one. Again, a genuine would fit, but it's not cost effective.
hello
i buyed two pairs of rubber straps (balck and orange) i got them from ebay, but onfortunately they are 20mm and will not fit on my 45mm PO (it was my fault).
i dont know, if this straps will fit on yours...
-
damm...i was scared to hell!!!
-
looks nice with that strap...wheare it in good health.
this is my PO with nato strap also.

PT always receives good reviews. The watch looks good -- pretty good photographs.
What was the result of the pressure test?
Regards, Patara
my tester goes only up to 8atm (8bar),wich the watch has aproved without any problems.
i comparedthewatch with the genuine one from myfriend and i must say,the rahaut is not that bad like some forum member
statet...the watch is a very acurate rep...the movement keeps excellent time results (+3sec at day).
it's not my last watch from pt.

hello
i got my watch from precious time without any problems, it was perfect transaction.
-
sorry to spoil your excitement. The rehaut is too conical. It gives an illusion of a deep rehaut. Also with the cyclop and date window too far to the right, ~$275 (did you also pay shipping) is too much.
-bm
dont worry, i apreciate your infos....fridey i will meet a friend with the genuine one, than i will compare it.
i know the price is a bit high, but as i live in europe and dont want custom problems, i prefered to order from a eu based seller.
and honestly, the watch feels absolutely the money worth.
what doy you think about the new steel fish and PO 45mm, wich one is closer to the genuine? i'm planing to get on of them.
thank you
