HartDoc Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 This watch has been to The Zigmeister for a lume tune last year. I wore it today and this is what I saw when I walked into my darken house I can't quite come up with the words to describe The Zigmeister lume job. I was wondering what you guys thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkBachs Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 There are those who love to give applause, and then there's me. When something is done right, I appluade. When something is done wrong, it doesn't bother me that others get ruffled becasue they haven't taken the time to learn the difference. Fail. The bezel lume should have been applied directly to the underside of the glass, not behind it in the depths of the bezel. In the dark, the lume should be more like this: Now, I understand that there will probably be comments/excuses about lighting, camera differences blah blah blah. The plain and simple truth is he made a huge mistake. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the lighting or camera the pic shows exactly how it is in real life. Thanks for the education. I really didn't know. This was a try before I buy the gen. It turned out to be one of my favorite rep and I use it as my dive watch. I could get it relumed to correct the mistake. But, in the end of the day it's still just a rep. And it save me around $5000 since I don't see the need to get the gen anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkBachs Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 The Ploprof is an awesome watch, based on this I'm going to get another one for myself. It just bugs me when people who have a great reputation make a mistake like that. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sorry TB but i am not following what you are saying. sounds like what you are proposing may not be possible given how the bezel and insert are constructed. Lume directly under the glass insert? Perhaps I am misunderstanding you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! @TB, I sent my Ploprof V2 dial/handset/bezel glass to The Zigmeister a couple of months back, and all I got back was one helluva torch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 So why the difference, then. One is obviously much brighter. I know TB said "dont tell me it's the camera" but there is obviously a huge difference here and my first thought is "it's the camera". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 He did one for me years ago and I don't remember him redoing the bezel. Only he can answer the question and I know he is away for a bit so I don't think he will be able to tell us what he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDoc Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I paid him to lume the bezel and he said he did. I have no reason not to believe him. It does glow like a touch. Just like any of my gen late model omegas. Plus like I said earlier. I have three option 1) sale the rep and get a gen. Which was my original plan 2) have the bezel relumed. Shipping and waiting could be a hassle. 3) enjoy the watch as is, yes its a tell but in the end it's just a rep. Do I spend xxx amount of dollars to bring it from 95% to 97%.

I have a question..... How is it that the time AFTER you walked into the darkened house is BEFORE the time when you were outside?!? Just saying, is all....

prb Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 took the outdoor pictures after the indoor ones? no... that couldn't be it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDoc Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 took the outdoor pictures after the indoor ones? no... that couldn't be it... I walked into the house was impressed with the lume and picked up my Iphone and took a quick pic. Then I thought it wouldnt be right to post a lume pic without a non lume pic. So yes, outdoor pics after the indoor pics. Man, thats why I love this forum. You guys dont miss anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
