mad_man_may Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 I love the contrast between the case color and strap. Gorgeous!
alw Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Yes, it´s almost "too sweet", we´ll see... Edited March 19, 2011 by alw
StormTooper4 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 That's well nice. Some top notch photos as well. Love thr colour combo and I wouldn't of thought the Dressy gator would work, but it does. That strap is really nice. ST4
FxrAndy Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Nice but i would love the see the hand lume colour match the dial
alw Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Posted March 20, 2011 Nice but i would love the see the hand lume colour match the dial Ah, true. Thank you for spoiling this for me! I guess I need to fix this later...
PeteM Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Ah, true. Thank you for spoiling this for me! I guess I need to fix this later... Admittedly there are a few more mods needed if you were being picky/anal but from the gen whether matching or non matching dials the lumed hands should not match the dial lume.... Though the true T pattina is hard to achieve with modern luming techniques though Zig an achieve this
alw Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Posted March 20, 2011 Oh, is that because different substances were used on hands/dial?
prdubis Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Oh, is that because different substances were used on hands/dial? On gen, hands were white painted and then lume was applied, that's why hands were lighter than indices. Not all watches were produced like this, and ones with hands lighter than dial are known as 'non matching'. Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk Sorry mate but Non matching refers to the dials........Non matching was a consequence of the lume reacting with the dial varnish which occurred on some dials hence why you see an orangey looking vintage lume rather than a creamy looking one... According to the gurus on risti the non matching and matching followed a rule on the thick and thin numbered dials..but thats another thread..
