And this time the lume is much better than on my second Aattempt. (you know what i mean ) Edited October 25, 2006 by Tribal
RWG Technical Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Thanks, Not your skill of luming a dial,but it goes better... And this time the lume is much better than on my second Aattempt. (you know what i mean ) I have had my share of mistakes as well, my first two watches were damaged (my own watches...). Luming is very hard to do and get no mistakes, some dials are not good quality and the rep lume comes off when you put the new lume on it...or the lume runs off the markers a bit... The fact your trying, and getting better each time, is great news, you learn to lume by luming...practice and more practice... Keep up the good work, RG
bkdc Posted October 25, 2006 Report Posted October 25, 2006 Good job! Keep at it! I ruined the first two dials I attempted to lume. I kept wanting a binocular surgical microscope to help me deal with magnification and depth perception. I've come up with my own little tricks to make luming a little safer on the dial, but it is very time consuming.
