  1. Not satisfied by my first try, I reworked the dial. Lume and coffee removed. Matt lacquer spray, then better applied lume. I know glossy lume is not accurate for 5512, but my Horoloex lume mix is basic. Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

  3. Thanks all ! Not the insert I try to reach. I wanted a less faded one. But I make the mistake to answer a phone call... And I need to age and relume the hands a little more. Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

  5. Simple mod for my cartel 5512 yesterday. It's not perfect but I'm happy for my first try. Dial in oven for 30 minutes, vintage horoloex lume, then strong coffee dried under a lamp. Strong coffee only for the hands. Case shaked in a box with coins. Forgot the insert in bleach because of a phone call. So it's more fade than I want and I think to buy an other insert for retry. Any advise where to buy one ? And I had a dislodged Keyless work when I remove the stem. Fortunately fixed this morning with this video guide : Before : After : Not bad for a first try ?

  7. I know about old watch lume. But there is an inconsistency. This one is new, and hands and pearl have lume. So why not dial ? Anyway I will lume it soon. I ordered a kit and oilers. Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk

  9. I think it's the photo angle and light. CG end disappeared on bright light.
  10. QC pics of a first watch. I refuse it because the dial was misaligned. QC pics from the watch I received.
  11. Josh said me the 5512 is not more available with DG2813 when I ordered. Sorry for the bad photos quality.
  12. As I'm a noob in watches, I will keep it as is for the moment. I project a simple mod first, age dial, hand and insert. Then a lume is essential as there is no lume on this rep. But I need to read more, and maybe some advice before
  13. That's what I hope to do. Aged dial and insert, puffy lume. But I have never do this kind of. I need to read more and more before.
  14. I don't know for the assembly. I'm a noob. I ordered this one http://www.pf-818.com/0rlsv01007a-vintage-5512-200m660ft-date-a2836-p-9552.html
  15. I'm happier to read that ! Love this watch as is. Just need a lume dial mod.
  16. HI everyone ! Just received this one from Josh. I read many thing about CG before I decide to order. And I very happy with it. It's from a new batch, and the crown guards seems different than older one I saw on forums. For exemple : Only one bad thing, the hand and pearl lume is very soft and there is no lume at all on dial. I have to relume it soon. It will be first mod experience. More photos soon…
  17. These days I wear Ic! Berlin Power Law Ghetto Havanna Brown Sand Ny.
