Chuck P Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Finally got around to adding lume to my Whoopy 1680 red. Had some white lume so decided to go with the "new lume" look for a change. Definitely adds depth to the dial. Might need to hit it with another shot of Matte spray to knock out the lume shine and add even more depth. But for now this will do. Tinkering is the best part of repdom!

Bc1221 Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 nice work! reluming those rectangles are such a pain in ass! lol matte lacquer should finish it off nicely. just be sure to get the kind without acetone in it unless you want the textured look.

automatico Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 CP... Good job on the dial! Question...did the case come with a bezel and how come you used a Clark bezel kit? The reason for asking is that I put a '5513' together a few months back using an MBK case and I went with a Clark/ST bezel kit because after changing crystals the only bezel combination that worked properly was the Clark/ST set (Clark and ST are identical). The original MBK bezel set just would not work properly and rotation was not smooth at all, I had to use rubber gloves to get it to turn all the way around. With the Clark/ST set the rotating bezel stays in place until you press down on it then it rotates smoothly in both directions as it should.

I purchased the case separately off the forum here quite some time ago. Needed a bezel so thought I would give the inexpensive Clark's version a try. I did have to slightly sand the bottom lip of the gen crystal (it was used and reasonable cost so I thought worth a try) to get the retaining ring to fit. It worked and now fits perfectly and rotation is smooth and gen-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
