thealphabeta Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 My new 111 is straight off to finepics for a lume job! Im so excited, his work is stunning!
bkatbamna Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 (edited) You'll love it. You can fix crownguards, recessed pin etc... but as soon as it goes in the dark, it is instantly recognizable as a fake if it isn't relumed. Edited April 3, 2006 by bkatbamna

thealphabeta Posted April 3, 2006 Author Report Posted April 3, 2006 Yes, i've seen his work on Venis watches and it looks lovely i agree. Pin fix next for sure. Its the base movt model so unfortunately the back is a dead giveaway too, just ownt take it off Also got a nice new strap from veni on the way so that should finnish it off a treat!!
r11co Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 My 090 is going off tomorrow (once I've let Johnthebhoy have a look at it).
baltic Posted April 4, 2006 Report Posted April 4, 2006 You won't regret it. Finepic's work is superb. He lumed and put new pins in my 005 and 183 and my Speedy is in to get the sub-dial 'frozen'. Cheers FP!
thealphabeta Posted April 10, 2006 Author Report Posted April 10, 2006 Just a quick update... Recieved my watch back from Mark (aka finepics) today and it looks AMAZING! Im using a crappy old laptop at the moment so cant post pics yet without outsizing my hard drive.... Will get pics up asap! I cant say how valuable it is to have it lumed. The watch just looks so much better. Im just so oveerwhelmed. Normally i see your pics, i.e. venis but until you actually see one in the felsh you just dont see just how nice it is!
V Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 YEap.. that's so true.. I cannot wear any of my older watches because without lume I think they miss something....
Finepics Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Thanks for all the praise fella's although I should admit that I do not always get it 100% each time as a couple of people already know, and I apologise for the odd mistake!!

Mark this is the re-lume risk.. We are talking about small numbers with a paint which is very very toxic to the dial colour and the hour and minute hands. If someone wants a perfect lumed watch he can go and buy the genuine.
