dutchguy2 Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 And that mod is ........ A relume with C1 Superluminova from Tritec on the triangle and the 3, 6 and 9 indexes. After this mod these indexes will have the same color and lume intensity as the allready great hands. Before the where greenish with less intensity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryaku Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Great watch, I love my Spitfire Mark XVI...the last mod I need is a brand new AR coating but yours seems to have a nice blue hue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Yes, on the latest batch the AR coating is great, the second hand (actually all hands) is perfect. Only the crown is still to big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Too big in which dimension? Too thick? I've trimmed crowns and He valves successfully before using the poor man's lathe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertatia Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 This WILL be my next watch? Which TD did you get it from and is it the latest model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 All TD's can get this one. Yes, latest modell. It s very good, as mentioned, only one mod is needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoam Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Some nice shots man. I think the genuine alligator rep strap is a must. I'm a "all stock" kind of guy though. The cowhide rep strap looks ok but feels cheap as heII. Your aftermarket strap looks cool though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herviam Posted May 31, 2013 Report Share Posted May 31, 2013 Did you purchase this through the forum or through a website like TT, PC, etc.? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3nj4min3 Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 A truly lovely watch and that lume is amazing. Certainly making me consider having all my reps re-lumed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altesporsche Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Maybe im digging u pan old post, but I have come across this and love the look of your watch for one ! congrats .. I have a MK XVI as well with gen hands and dial and this looks pot on to my gen lume. I was wondering what strap you are using ? the only reason i cant get used to wearing the watch is because of its small strap and well small watch ( i wear 44mm panerai's ) It seems that strap would make my watch a little easier to wear. @ almost 40mm (38) it shouldn't look so small on my wrist but it looks like a small frame rolie on my wrist and feels odd. cheers and thanks C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvn Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 How is it compare to xvii? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altesporsche Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 from the look of this watch and detailed pictures its spot on without having my mostly gen MK XVI side by side with it. The lume job on dutche's watch is pretty much exact to my GEN lume and the dial look texture and lume application looks damn well exact. Id say this is pretty much 98% of the gen look. So id say its closer than the XVII. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomic_doug Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 This is a little after the fact, so forgive my thread necromancy, but I'm looking at doing this for my XVI as well. Did you do it yourself or have it done professionally? To that end, has anyone ever used these kits? http://www.ofrei.com/luminous-paste-for-watch-hands-and-dials.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter pan Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hey! I have a Mark XVI V2 as well but the standard lume really bothers me as well. Way too greenish. Can you tell me, where I can get a relume job like yours? It looks really spot on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
