So, Before wearing my black dial sosf i decided to try to relume the hour markers. Its one of these a21j´s with sapphire crystal and decent quality. Side by side with my h-factory asian clone sosf the lume is one of the weak points on this one.
Disassembly was fairly easy, The markers was glued with some not so strong glue so i just pushed from the back and out they popped. Then i had to remove the old lume. Ive done this may times before on hands but not markers like this. I tried all i had at home:
Nail polish remover (without acetone)
Something i cant translate atm, Google translate wants it to be White gas. Directly translated its "chemically clean petrol"
Solvent naphtha
Ammonia
Red ethanol
So is acetone the only way to go or what am i missing?
