Grimlocktime Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Sweet dial C! Probably shouldn't have been so quick to get rid of it! Which hands are those? Edited November 6, 2013 by Grimlocktime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mir36 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Well done. That new Jacob caseback tops it off quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankster23 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks guys, she's coming along... Thanks Grim, The hands are DSN not sure version. I think they are a bit brown/tan. I've got holio's white lume and May give that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimlocktime Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Thanks guys, she's coming along... Thanks Grim, The hands are DSN not sure version. I think they are a bit brown/tan. I've got holio's white lume and May give that a try. I actually relumed a set of DSN hands with holio lume. It's nice lume. I found that its easiest to totally strip the hands with paint thinner, repaint them with matte black, then Relume them. Mix the lume really well first. Make sure there are no lumps. Totally do this!!! Or just buy the Helena Rou super lume Pre-V hands. Either way I agree that the DSN hands look too tan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimlocktime Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 One thing I just noticed, you could use an H1 CP set. The Hands are sitting WAY above the face. Gen 202/a used an H1 according to the reading I've done on RWG. I've got an H1 if you want to trade yours for mine, PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankster23 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I'll give the Lume a try, i have 2 or 3 sets to practice on. Grim, will send a PM on the CP, ASAP HAHAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Nice build - love the dial re-lume and the glossy finish. Cheers FGD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
