iceshark099 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Is it possible to get this watch: To have the lume like the gen: (i figured the bezel would be questionable part, everything else seems straight forward, just with 2 colors of lume instead of one) Thanks for the help!

Jkay Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Yes of course. You need to buy the replica, and then send it off to a talented lume artist who can make the changes for you. All you need is the will to do it, and the money to pay for it. There are a few trusted modders here and on other watch forums who can do this easily. let me put a disclaimer here ... I do not have personal knowledge that the replica's bezel insert allows for lume. that would be a caveat here. Here's one ------- http://prowatch-polo...cts.php?id=1714 another----- http://www.trustytim...roducts_id=7899 a third ----- http://www.puretime.co/product/2010-aquatimer-ss-blackwhite-bezel-white-dial-black-rubber-strap-a2836-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceshark099 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 hey thanks for the help, I have a ingy currently with PB for lume, so I'll have to ask him. I love this watch, just wish they sold it with the ss bracelet, but cant have everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 When I was researching this watch for you, I saw many with the SS bracelet ... maybe it fits this model and maybe not. One more thing to have the modder "do" for you WatchEden quartz replica on SS bracelet for $88 --- http://www.watcheden...-62287-p-1.html ask if they can sell you the bracelet alone ..... BTW why is this watch with Asia clone ETA almost $300 ??? I feel violated just looking at that price. Unjustified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceshark099 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 really you found some reps with the ss bracelet, I could not find any at all, was it on this site? Thanks so much for helping research! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceshark099 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 oh nice find, do you think the bracelet on that watch would fit? and yeah i was wondering that myself, I was looking at an old GST on Josh's site that is the same price for a swiss movement.

Jkay Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 I really do not know if it would fit ... but there it is. It's available, but for a quartz watch bracelet ... will it be any good AND will it fit. Questions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceshark099 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Ill have to figure it out first!! thanks again for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceshark099 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I wonder what other kind of after market straps would look good on this model. If anyone has any ideas let me know, I am going to buy the watch in a few days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 For 88$ I'd buy the quartz rep just for the bracelet. Whatever the auto reps size lugs have 22mm? Just ask the quartz seller if it's a 22mm bracelet. As far as this model iwc, I have seen a couple modded with lume like your picture, so it definately can be done. Do some searching about that model in our iwc forum. Good luck with your project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have been searching for the Lume shots, but not finding anything, what were you searching under? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 What I was saying was...Ive seen that model watch with that kind of lume posted by members. Have a look in the IWC forum or past sales. It's been over a year, but it's been done. I think it's a cool model, just wish they made it smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceshark099 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I cant seem to find any pictures of this model lumed, except a few gen shots. Ill have to keep searching! I can hardly find pics of this watch period. I must suck at searching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
