Hi Rob,

congrats! That's another nice work. I am still loving my white printed 1680 you re-lumed for me a couple of days ago. Especially the vintage tritium coulored raised markers are that nice!!! :thumbsupsmileyanim: And of course: The pannie "bratwurst" style markers :D are incredible, too!

All the best

Frank

Great job Rob but one question, how did you fix where the lume had been smeared over the dial around the 12 o'clock marker?

Oops, missed that one, sorry...

I scraped the old lume off the dial, and after I relumed it, I sprayed clear over the whole works to cover up and provide a nice even sheen to the dial...that covered up the smudge marks...

Got it yesterday. Looks fantastic. The "smudge" is gone and the dial looks fabulous. :) What you can't see from Ziggy's picture is that he has managed to achieve the beautiful rose mixed with creme look of true 30 year old tritium dials. I will leave the pictures to Ziggy though. He is better at it then I and I just busted my camera.:lol:

Is it normal for the pearl not to be glowing?

I have a couple of OEM vintage inserts (circa 1980s an early 90s) & the pearls no longer glow on these. The tritium markers of vintage dials have lost their glow by now as well . A new OEM pearl will cerainly have a nice lume to it.

Glad to hear this from you, as kruzer said, I have a few of his here for work and this one was one of many that I was working on... Keep practicing, it takes a lot of practice to get it right...

As requested, here are pics of the cased watch, light, and dark...
