Timepiece Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 My SMP was not lumed 100% on the 9 hr marker. Now I'm thinking of sending it to a trusted RWg member that can relume the dial and hands. Besides The Zigmeister I found the name finepics in some reviews. Who can give me a good tip and indication of the costs involved?
FxrAndy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 I have heard very good things about Finepics
Pugwash Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 I have heard very good things about Finepics Including his retirement? Palpatine is probably the undisputed champion. It may have been disputed before Finepics retired.
Finepics Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 Not totally retired - just slowed down a bit so I might be able to squeeze you in somewhere!! PM me if you want it done.
sssurfer Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 I had a watch relumed by Finepics and it is absolutely stunning. Even if examinated at 10x it seems machine-made, not hand-made. And it was not the simpliest watch to relume: bars, not dots, as hour marks; and three numeral marks at 6, 9 and 12. I had no lume experience by palp, but as for Finepics I can recommend him eyes closed.
Finepics Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 Hey Marco - still don't think I have bettered that, my best work to date!!
sssurfer Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 Hey Marco - still don't think I have bettered that, my best work to date!! It was my suspicion even before you said it, Mark. I feel proud and honoured and grateful that such a fortune occurred to me. Surely I am aware that what I got from you is true artwork. I am currently wearing that watch on a daily basis, and I keep getting amazed each time I look at it (and each time I look at it I think of you). But I also know that you are able to equal that level again. And other members should benefit from your skill too. That is why I keep recommending you any time I have the occasion to do it...
baltic Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 Not wanting to increase his workload too much but I can certainly recommend Finepics, I've had 3 PAMs relumed by him - each was fantastic.
Guest RiverwindMDS Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 Hey Marco - still don't think I have bettered that, my best work to date!! Please Finepics, I need two AR coatings, can you please reply to my PM. Thanks
Markus Posted November 14, 2006 Report Posted November 14, 2006 I should have my 196 back from Finepics in a week or so... Full dial and hands re-lumed... I'll post pics as soon as I can.
Finepics Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Palpatine is the man for the job!!! //robi Thanks very much for the vote of confidence there!!!
