Sorry, i had to raise an ancient topic. But anyone here has any better ideas on how to age lume? slightly?

Bro, you should wear your 6263 PN to the hour glass, they hosting the Daytona Ultimatium now. Would be interesting to get a couple of shots

The dial is never perfect, same goes with ARF which is far fetched. Let's see who's going to give us a comparison between Noob and ARF side by side pic

Anyone know some where I can find 6263 hands and chrono hands? Ruby doesn't sell these, I only saw Phong has it but I also heard a lot of bad experience in dealing with him.

I'm afraid this is not a good recipe to me. The lume has to age and look matte, but the Comex example lume looks baked, shiny, and crispy, it doesn't look anything natural like the Omega example I pointed out above. It's very obvious that the dial and hands was deliberately tempered. :X much like this similar example as discussed in Rolex Forum.

Lume Looks flat, not even accurate.

Great idea too. I live in Malaysia and it's 32-34c daily, humid and hot, sunny weather year round. But I was thinking since the DW is white colour, would it leave patches of uneven burnt out surface on it? how long it took you to get this tropical brown? Was it pitch black previously?

This is what I a was thinking about too. But do you know what oven setting and temperature should be the safest? Its a gen tritium service dial, so I can't make any mistakes. The lume is in pale yellow very close to white. And I need it to look slightly aged.

Hey guys, I'm been reading through a few forums on how to age a dial. But there isnt much information specifically, the best topic ive found so far on this mod is at this Omega Forum where by the author manage to bake his dial to tropical effect and it looks pretty sweet and consistent. However he did not share the oven settings and how he manage to do it. https://omegaforums.net/threads/yikes-i-made-a-brown-tropical-speedmaster-dial.14993/ There is another member who suggested the oven setting is 225 in a fan assisted oven for around 15 minutes. I current have a matte Rolex dial but the tritium is white, I would like to age it a little. Has anyone attempted to bake their dial's in the oven before?

Anyone knows how's phong bezel looks like? I haven't seen him selling one yet.

Thank you for breaking down the details. May i know what movement is it running on and how much have you've invested so far in this beauty?

What a gem, you dont see much milgauss around here. Very rare built, is this from Ken?

I have not heard of raffles/Riyi, may I know how I can contact them? Ruby is a little slow in replying my whatsapp but I'm in touch with her now.

I bought 571 endlinks from phong and its totally rubbish, the stamping is dodgy. China replica endlinks are even better lol.

Hey guys, Im sending my 55, and 6521H jubilee to CWR to fix the stretch soon and wouldn't like to leave my 6542 resting at home. I'm thinking about getting a 7206 rivert bracelet. I see that's Yuki is selling this bracelet at $189 m.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/7752471.htm while Ruby is also selling it at slightly cheaper $149. rubyswatch.com/products/k2-%7C-replacement-%7C-7206-%7C-bracelet-1563 does anyone know what are the differences between these two or are they literally the same thing? I read somewhere that Yuki is offering the latest 7206 which has a much more accurate coronet. Not sure if this applies the same as Ruby's. would love to hear some opinions.

Step dial?

It's Chinese New Year this week. I don't think she is going to reply you, so I wouldn't be bothered to ask her. Wait after a week?

thank you

I haven't not came across her shop on eBay before, may i know what is the name? I have dung Chrono's whatsapp, but he isn't very helpful.

Has anyone else been buying from Ruby recently? Her prices seems very competitive, but not sure whether what she post out is as described. Can anyone's vouch for her?

What's the the story behind this beauty?

LL just made announcement two days ago on his website stating he will respond to messages, anyone here manage to communicate with him?

These builts are amazing, I saw Phong's son is selling a Tudor 7031 rtb but dial is not great. Around 2.2k, not sure who has the most accurate dial here. This is going to be my next build.
