spazthecat Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 Hi, Today I received a dial and handset from Yuki. It's an explorer dial with yellow lume and it might just be me but the lume on the hands really don't match the dial lume at all. I did ask him to swap out the Rolex sized hands for ETA hands. Could that be the problem? Or, do they pretty consistently not match? Thanks, Andy

kin tama Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Cold black coffee.. anywhere from a few hours to a few days....just monitor them until you get the desired shade...kind regards kt
BradBMW Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Thanks. Does it damage the dial at all, cause rust, etc? Thanks, Brad

You may need to follow the link, I'm having trouble getting pictures to appear in-line. Must be an iCloud thing... https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A4Grq0zwGqxr5S;E65BEFE8-CFD5-43EE-A718-1AA867609185
spazthecat Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Posted June 8, 2014 And is is just me or does the dial look a little crooked? I think the 3 is lined up nicely with the crown but when I look at the 9, it appears a little lower. Similarly when I look at the 5 minute marker compared to the 55 minutes marker. The 55 minute marker looks lower. https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A4Grq0zwGqxr5S;B206CFD8-8C51-4386-852A-62D14E6D0BA0
