Quick and Dirty Franken Pair (111 and 250)

My apologies for the quality of the photos, but I wanted to share a recent addition to the family.

Many of you have seen the 111 in other posts (gen dial, hands, crown, crown guard, movement), but the 250 is a recent addition. The 250 has a gen dial, hands and crown (hopefully CG to come in the future), with swiss 7753 (fully serviced) and Leo datewheel.

Zig, I'll post some later. I will say, though, that generally my impression is that the SL that you apply is equal to that from the factory, especially with regard to sandwich dials. Some of the painted dials may vary slightly, but that is because you apply by hand, whereas theirs are silk-screened.

But in general, the glow is as bright (in some cases brighter) and lasts just as long.

Here is a lume shot of the 250. It was shot right after walking inside from a cloudy day, and was taken on my Blackberry Storm. For some reason, the hands appear to be a different color than the dial -- it does not generally look like this in person. The glow is very bright at first, but dims off a bit after a couple of minutes, but maintains a steady glow all night.
