Arctos Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Why is the lume yellow? It turns that color as it ages. The term for it is "patina". Vintage collectors really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 I wonder if the lume still glows blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Lume can be almost any daylight color. Even black. And yes it glows even when its black. Look at a Franck Muller Color Dreams for example.It you drip a bit of tea stain on white lume, that will not prevent it from glowing it's normal night-time color.

preacher62 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 For the low, low price of $28,800 Euros you may have this entire package for your own...plus VAT. Place your order within the next 10 minutes and you will also receive a Snuggie, in your choice of colors, at no additional charge. But you must act now!

Almost like they got the idea from us -- you know, making new watches look old :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomic_doug Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Very cool-looking...except for the fake patina. It's one thing for people like us to simulate the look of an old watch because we're actually trying to re-create an old watch. I realize some of the hypocrisy inherent in my opinion, but fake patina in a production model just makes me unreasonable. Companies (like Panerai particularly) are just trying to trade on the desire of some collectors' desire for a vintage watch but who don't want to deal with the potential headache of owning a vintage watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 It's an Edmund Hilary tribute watch. It's supposed to evoke an era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Nice , shouldn't be too hard to put together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valty Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 "Bling, bling, bling"... Creating fakes is supposed to be our job, isn't it ? Can't believe people is paying so much dollars for simple "commemorative bling bling" modding Seriously, do they try to say the watch who gone to the Everest the first has some patina ? Yellow patina while the Everest is supposed to be the "pure" white ? There is a serious problem of communication, haha (and I hate Flash web sites, really ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Can't believe people is paying so much dollars for simple "commemorative bling bling" modding Yeah, but it comes in a big box. Value added! And don't forget that all-important endorsement from the sons of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. I am now eagerly awaiting the Franktech series of Panerais, from Sly's younger brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 This Hillary Tenzing edition is pure marketing cr*p for gullible buyers, but I love the look with the NATO strap, so thanks for giving me the idea. I"ll accomplish this for about $150 lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I"ll accomplish this for about $150 lol. Couldn't've said it better myself, but yes, barring the rehaut engraving, it shouldn't be hard to cobble together a reasonable approximation of this. What gets me though, is it was Oliver Shepard who had his 1655 modified to include the dial and hands of a GMT Master, so that should be the real credit for this release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
