Choice Of Colours For A 1680 Dial Job?

[pannylovernr1]

Thinking of reluming a 1680 dial

Seen Edge's post w/ mixing Americana yellow ochre w/ Revell nigth paint.

Would it be equally good to mix it w/ Decoart's Glow In The Dark Medium?

Is there also a Tritec colour to match , like "old rolex" colour? Think I've seen something mentioned before on the forums?

I would say: Go The Zigmeister!

I would say: Go The Zigmeister!

So would I. Just look at what he did with my 1680 dial.

Try Kent Parks at everestwatchworks.com. He's got a Super Luminova color option specifically called "Vintage Tritium".

Go for a nice beigey yellow colour, you can just make it to your own specs, just try and make a colour that appeals to you.

the colour that i made was for someone else who wanted a nice pale yellow colour to show vintage but as if it well cared for and looked after.

Great!

Thanks for all tips,will try ordering different colours and see which looks the best and practice on an extra dial I got.

If it comes out all bad then I'll have to think about sending it to a pro like The Zigmeister. But I'm hesitating sending any rep stuff including dials to the states because of their customs seem a bit too effective (unlike here in Europe thank god).
