vmena Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Where can I buy Superluminova on line and pay by paypal... I know, I know... too many questions in one. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubus Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 you can always buy Noctilumina, little bit bigger particles, but lasts longer and is way cheaper, about 45usd shipped! Look for Noctilumina on ebay, one seller sells it. As for Superrluminova, check RcTritec site (just google it) and get in touch with the lady there Cheers, kuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlaletom Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 hey this Noctilumina looks good !! So you tried it ? Does it really glow longer then Superluminova ? and how strong is the glow .. For what i see i looks very close in the way to apply/use it. that would be good news, specially as ordering from RCTritec is fastidious as you have to go by bank wire ... and it's very costly. the seller on the bay olso says they have a new line of extra-fine grain. And until 30 juin an extra free botlle of your color choice, with each color kit bought, all that at 29.95 USD it's allmost too good to be true.

FxrAndy Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Postage is expencive but product looks good. Any one use it yet and can post a comparison to SL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Superluminova outperforms Noctilumina, Ready Set Glow, and all similar products hands down. They can sustain comparison with SL only in their original gross-grain form -- which is almost unusable to relume watch dials (with exception for sandwich dials). The extra-fine grain Noctilumina is pure [censored] compared with SL. There is a reason why SL is so more expensive than those products. Give them all a try, compare them, then came back here and tell me if I said something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pubus Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 well if I had the money I would go for SL, but since I am not so walthy as most of you I still will use cheaper products, as Noctilumina. I had no problems reluming 111h, but I agree that it does have big particles. Non the less, its still good, and glows bright and long enough to tell it was worth those 50bucks!

Surely it is because your great skill in reluming makes you manage even those big parcticles, pubus. I was unable to cope with them, though. I just meant to warn all newcomers to relume -- like me -- that SL makes life much much easier than other products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 What sssurfer said. Superluminova lasts forever and is unsurpassed in brightness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmena Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Any other place to buy online than RCTritec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 There is a German seller who is currently selling SL on the bay -- but just the pigment, no varnish, no thinner, etc. As far as I know, the only one selling complete SL kits is rctritec. Why not to buy from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not to buy from them? Seems that rctriec accepts wire transfer only and it is a bit difficult the ordering process. But if I can't find it some other place I will order from them. I've been told tha if you use superluminova with glossy effect you don't need any varnish... is it so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I say its still worth the money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They accepted money in an envelope from me. Just tell Elisabeth that your bank charges scandalous fees on international wire transfers, she will work out a solution for you. As for the varnish thing: as far as I know, SL only comes in form of powders that you need to mix with varnish (not the way of, e.g., Bergeon luminous paste). And it is the varnish, matte or glossy, that gives the final matte or glossy look. Anyway I say its still worth the money Completely agree. On a performance/cost ratio, one may not want to spend 2x or more to get only 1.2-1.3x glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosk Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 LWA use to sell them over at RWI....if there is enuf interest u might convince him to sell it again. I agree that Notiluma is crap. SL all the way.... I hear of moders adding notiluma to their custom mixes tho....I see no advantage except cutting their costs. -bosk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmena Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 What I meant with the glossy finish is what is shown in this web site: Superluminova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 What I meant with the glossy finish is what is shown in this web site: Superluminova Yes, they are offering relume as a service: you send them your dial and hands, then they send them back to you relumed, they do not actually sell SL. They assure they use original (rcTritec) SL to make your relume. The matte or glossy finish is what they obtain by mixing matte or glossy varnish to SL powder. Hope this makes sense now.
