Drulee Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Well I now have a new appreciation of what a proper luming can add to a watch. Got back my 192 and 250 from The Zigmeister the other day, and just loved the results. A couple days in the house and I'm sure my hydro bills have dropped, as I've needed less lighting and just use the 250 to read by First up my "fantasy" 192. I didn't feel bad about having blue lume, as it was already a fantasy model with titanium case, instead of tantalum and the display back - besides it was already going on a blue theme with the hands and straps I've had on it the majority of the time. And with the 250 Next up, the PAM 250, first pic is before The Zigmeister, watch put under lamp for 20 secs, the pic taken with exposure setting at f2.8 for 6secs: Then, after The Zigmeister, watch put under same lamp for 5 secs, then pictures taken with exposure setting at f2.8 for 1sec: And a while later (over 5 mins), still glowing. Regular lume would have shown no sign of life by now. Here you can see the lume beginning to glow just from the ambient lighting: And side by side, with the 192 again..
siesta181 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 The Zigmeister's lume the best.... Nuff said. Needlees to say, my experience working wth Jen and The Zigmeister has been fantastic. Let's see Slevin, 029, 250, 196, 063... sheer perfection. You are one luck dude, Dru.. Enjoy the lume, they'll keep you awake at night Cheers siesta181

Now I've got to do something about the recessed date on the 250 I figure if I use these watches as lights for a couple more weeks it will have saved me enough on my hydro bill to buy a Leo date wheel
StormTooper4 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 That blue lume is simply awesome great idea and perfect execution Wear them well ST4
chubbchubb Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 When it comes to lume... The Zigmeister is in a league of his own.
sssurfer Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 OMG I just came onto the screen. How can my wife now believe I was not surfing porno sites??
Toadtorrent Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 OMG I just came onto the screen. How can my wife now believe I was not surfing porno sites?? Yikes!! Especially when you're surfing lume posts naked.
ubiquitous Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 Whoa- That blue lume is just Zig never ceases to amaze me with his precision lume jobs. Always a work of art!
fishgodeep Posted August 28, 2009 Report Posted August 28, 2009 It's not just lume - it's art !! Great looking watches and the blue lume is a nice touch Cheers FGD
Eton Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 Wow, great lume, great shots! Just shows how truly amazing his work is...I would say this will get him some more business!
sssurfer Posted August 29, 2009 Report Posted August 29, 2009 Yikes!! Especially when you're surfing lume posts naked. If you had the same air temperature and humidity we have here these days, you too would take a shower three or four times a day... and, after a good shower, what better than drying while having a look over at RWG?...
SERGEANT_AT_ARMS Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 The blue lume on the 192 was a great call, I really like it
Drulee Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Posted August 30, 2009 Thanks everyone for all the positive feedback. Not quite sure what to say about those who where unable to control themselves, though. Perhaps a pack of handi-wipes will keep the wife in the dark
siesta181 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 No one's in the dark with that kinda lume....
RWG Technical Posted August 31, 2009 Report Posted August 31, 2009 They look great and I am glad you like them. Your photography is excellent, great composition and exposure and lighting, very impressive. Good lume shots as well, most struggle getting a good lume picture. Wear them in good health.
Drulee Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks for the excellent work The Zigmeister, and the compliments on the photos I used to do a lot of photography when I was younger, but was never satisfied with the outcome. Also, I guess I was too impatient with the developing stage - so I gave it up. But with the advent of digital photography, and the ability to see the results immediately, I've been dabbling in it again. Hope you're enjoying your holiday.
