Luminova For Vintage Rolex

[freddy333]

I need to relume a rep 5512, 6263 and a 1665 DRSD. Is Bergeon Luminous (white) paste or standard Luminova better (more accurate) or should I use Super-Luminova? And which colour--white or green?

My initial thought was to use the Bergeon paste because I have used this on a couple of other watches and its naturally weak and quick-fading glow might(?) look better on an old watch. But the lume that was originally on these watches was so weak (barely any glow) that I couldn't tell for sure whether it was white or green.

I'm hoping that some of you who have more experience may be able to shed some light (no pun intended) on this.

If you contact RC Tritec they do several colours that are non standard and not on their colour charts - oone of which is called "Old Rolex".

Brilliant! I'll give that a try.

Just in case, do you have an opinion on whether Super-Luminova "green" would be a good backup option (as oppsed to "white" or standard luminova)?
