blue lume hand markers..green lume on hour markers

[stretchrunner]

Hi all , It has been awhile since I have been here as I have purchased a few rollie rep's.... Why is the lume not blue on the hour markers( it is green) ....Yet the blue lume is blue on a the hour hands????

I have seen very few true blue lumes..so my question is where can I get a dssd with true blue lume on hands and hour markers??

where can I purchase a dssd v5 with true blue lume??

Looks like the watch was put together with different parts from other watches and I am wondering why there is not a more uniform look in consistantsy from watch to watch....

Thanks for any input

I've been told that differences in lume appearance, be it color, brightness etc (of all reps) is because the dials and hands are coming from different sources, but assembled at the same place.

I think that if you want really good consistent lume on the DSSD, you will either have to 1) Buy a genuine -pretty pricey, or 2) send yours off to one of our modding experts on the forum such as The Zigmeister or Vac. I have an ETZ 2010 DSSD and they touted photos of the lume which looked pretty good, but when I got the actual watch, the lume was very bright for a few minutes, but faded fast.Most of the rep makers use the bare minimum amount of Lume material, as it's pretty expensive. Frankly it would be a lot easier to do the job right the first time and just charge a few dollars more, but that's not how they work.

I have two DSSD's (and had another v5 briefly) the 316f ult has proper blue all round when charged with most lights. However, when charged with a LED torch (the led seems to have a different kind of light), the hour markers appear green, but only for a moment before turning blue.

I had my perfect ten relumed by The Zigmeister and it is now officially amazing!

Thanks for your replies ..yes I was told that too as they parts come from different palces but assembled in one place...Just seems like you come find a uniformed too outsource so that all dssd's are equal in stature.. I know the lume is expensive ......but I would rather pay more and have it done right.

I my first DSSD was great it was actually blue...then I sold it ...not knowing that there is a difference from one place than another...I guess I was lucky on my 1st DSSD..I wished now I had not sold it ....

Well I guess my next venture will to be to Zigmeister do the deed...any Idea what the cost is to have this done and how long will I be with my timepeice??

Thanks guys for your reply.

You being prepared to pay more, and the rep manufacturers being prepared to pay more, are two very different things, my friend Sadly, they build with the lowest cost possible, and are marketing to folks who aren't as 'particular' about details as a watch enthusiast, but just want a 'nice-looking watch'

I'm not too sure what the Zigmeister charges for a relume, but his work is without question, first rate quality
