RWG Technical Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Love these B&R models because they lend themselves to such nice upgrades. This one arrived in the shop on September 24, finished it up yesterday, 8 day turn time (which is about my average). Work includes: Full servicing: movement disassembled to the last screw and spring, ultrasonic cleaned, 3 rinses, dried, inspected, assembled and oiled to factory specs, and timed and adjusted in 3 positions. Dial and hands lume in C3 A+ Genuine Super Luminova, the brightest and best lume available, glows for 700 minutes. Bezel marker lumed in Genuine Super Luminova BG W9, White daylight, Blue glow. On to the pics: First up is the optical illusion - if you let the camera do the thinking for you you will get the lume colour wrong - note the lume "appears" white, this happens all the time and members wrongly ask for white lume when in fact it's yellow/green. WRONG camera settings, lume is not White. CORRECT camera settings, you can now see the correct colours: Close up shot, correctly exposed to show the details of the lume: And some various pics, 1/6 second exposure: I think the owner will be very pleased...

Jkay Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Zig used to have a post in his area which included a whole tableau of his lume shots as a mosaic carpet of splendor. Don't know where that is nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Amazing work R! I love the lume bars at 3 and 9. Look like little capsules cut in half and stuck on the watch. Just perfect contour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Gorgeous work as always (those markers simply don't look hand lumed!), and quite a handsome watch. I agree - B for Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
