Sinn U1 Rep lume quality

[gtanak]

Was browsing and reading RWI and read complaints that of late the Sinn U1 reps were coming with green markers and had horrid grainy lume. (http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/first-rep-bought-sinn-u1-54283.html)

Sure enough, received a U1 dial and it had blotches of light lime green markers and the lume was appaling compared to the rep Sinn U2. As a favour to my friend, whipped up the trusty horostick and lumed to save his poor dial. Looks much better imho than when i received it... Not sure what happened to this rep that used to be quite brilliant otb... Pics of lume before touching up are enclosed.

Relumed dial

Dial after 10s UV

Relumed hands

Hands after 10s UV

Hopefully, this is just a batch problem with the Sinn U1s and the quality of rep lume will improve.. otherwise it'll be such a waste of an excellent rep for a nice diver's watch.

Cheers

Good work mate, your luming skills are coming along. What, pray tell is this "horostick" you refer to?

I think they are trying to mimic the gen. The gen U1 I saw had lume areas that almost looked like they were covered in grains of sand! Especially the hands.
