hiker01 Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 :thumbsupsmileyanim: That's taking 'sterility' to a whole new level, amigo What did you do? Soaked everything on 100% Clorux......after 15min check, all looked good......30 mins.....the Bezel insert was well done, so I took that out.....an hour later, dial and hads looks good, so let it stay overnight........ Next day all the paint except the Lume were floating on top! The minute hand's lume got bleached a bit......oh well, another experience gained! Looks cool, though, if I may say so!

praetor Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 looks like you sanded or scuffed the dial as well. Now it's a nice homage watch lol. Maybe put the dial in the oven next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
