jayely1 Posted January 2, 2014 Report Share Posted January 2, 2014 Just curious where someone might find one for sale? How well does the lime work on the authentic dials? Mine works well if I'm in a sunny (natural sun) place. But after 5 minutes or so it fades pretty drastically..Are they all like that??

atomic_doug Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 On gen dials the lume is a torch. Charge it up for a few minutes and it will be legible all night. Sourcing gen dials is very difficult. They pop up for sale every now and then, but never the model you want and typically very expensive. Your best bet would be to have your rep dial re-lumed. Then it can have gen-like luminosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomic_doug Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Getting a watch face relumed can be done by hand if you're willing to experiment, or sent off to one of our trusted watchsmiths. They typically would use Super-LumiNova blended to the color used by the OEM. (Don't ask me what they charge, I've never had a dial relumed by them.) The upgraded lume would be permanent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
