scotty Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Having now acquired an Ultimate DSSD with all blue lume, I'm debating having it re-lumed (dial, hands and pearl and at the same time change the bezel insert for the correct 10 one). Out the box the lume IS BLUE, but for me is not so strong. or intense, even taking into account the difference in colour base compared to say C3. It's a 'gentle' blue glow, that also fades relatively quickly (compared again to say Tritec Superluminova C3). Has anyone had their DSSD re-lumed? If so what's your thoughts over the results achieved - notable difference in intensity / length of glow? Any before and after pics? Having done it, you happy with the result and recommend the mod? Thanks in advance for comments..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mactower Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I've had mine re-lumed, it's night and day. I debated as well as the rep lume on the ultimate is good (or so I thought) and applied pretty well, though a proper lume is insanely good. It just needs a hint of sunlight and it's already got that glow going... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactower Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Anytime, it'll prob run you around $100 to get someone to lume it well, or you can attempt yourself though in my opinion, money well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Luminova ... on my DSSD ... <--- you need sunglasses at night!! After the charge, the light it throws can illuminate a page! And it truly lasts all night in an even, gradually dimming fashion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIFF Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Sorry guys but the lume is way to blue... The gen is more green blue-ish... Or is that just on the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 wheaton26's is lumed with the same lume that Rolex uses, so the colour is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Or is that just on the picture? Exactly. Don't trust pics for exact coloration. "Steel color" fables etc ... it's just too subtle a thing to photograph and then display on computer monitors. Some dealers have reeeeally bad white balance problems. Even when they photograph on a white sheet!! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
