TeeJay Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 With it's new movement, this won't be coming off my wrist any time soon A big thanks to FxrAndy for such an awesome gesture of not just one, but two new movements :drinks: I'd read a while back, the tip of using a Sub dial marker as a replacement pearl on an Omega Planet Ocean. I decided to give it a try on this I think it looks okay, and, being more recessed than the usual Rolex pearls, I'm hoping it won't snag and get pulled out :thumbsupsmileyanim: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Pearl looks great TJ, have you given it a coat of clear nail varnish to make it smooth and also to protect the lume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Pearl looks great TJ, have you given it a coat of clear nail varnish to make it smooth and also to protect the lume I haven't, the marker is it's literally as taken from the dial, and just glued into place in the insert, but thanks for the tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I did it with a deepsea pearl and after a while built up a nice high round glass like covering, one coat let it just about dry and then add another, as it drys it gets thinner i think i had about 10 coats at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeromatic Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) I did it with a deepsea pearl and after a while built up a nice high round glass like covering, one coat let it just about dry and then add another, as it drys it gets thinner i think i had about 10 coats at least thats a good idea! i once replaced a sub pear by building it up with white nail varnish i mixed a bit of brown nail varnish i put a blob on a tooth pick and when it dried there was some settlement and i then built up some layers with clear nail varnish there was no lume but it did dry in a glass dome like finish and lasted a long while until i sold it the new owner said its still on!
