RolexAddict's Pam 029 reluming


Rolexaddict

Recommended Posts

I start to be interested with Pams... smile.png

 

So I have tested by reluming a 029,  what I am able to do, I used Tritec Superluminova C1 for this. I think I will be a Pam addict in the coming weeks...

the lume color is exactly the same as the gen watch

 

I will shoot tonight in the complete dark

 

Enjoy the pics and sorry for the dust on the close up

Very nice job for your first try.   :v:

 

I have two criticisms though, the handstack needs more work as it's bleeding into the "skeletons" and also genuine OP automatic model dial lume is not matte, it's semi-glossy.   The latter is also true for the v2 reissue of Noob PAM29M that came out in April so my recommendation would be to leave that model dial as-is if one is after accuracy.

 

Genuine 29M:

Thank you very much for your imputs wOLF,

Your critics are positive and constructive,

In fact I have considered to apply a semi-gloss clear layer on the lume, I will phone to Tritec again to ask if a clear polyuretan or epoxi resin will not affect the lume performances of the C1

 

Cats, I am right now thinking of this to offer a Pam lume package, I will pm you in the coming days,

RA,

If you want, I have a couple PAM29M handstacks you can practice on, I can just send them your way. I'm looking forward to seeing how the gloss experiment turns out. I know that most modders active right now do not do the correct semigloss look, they leave it matte. The matte look works for lumi handwind models but it's completely incorrect for automatics. I also know that it's possible to do the right way because I have an old-school PAM29B that was relumed by Mark (Finepics) back in 2007 and he nailed the look, so you can help bring back the lost skill:
