fishgodeep Posted June 29, 2007 Report Posted June 29, 2007 I am well pleased with this......thanks Rob.......still left wondering who / what / how you can lume the numerals on the sub dials with such 100% perfection. This watch is one of my favourites and a lifetime keeper. Not sure if it rare ....but this one has no serial engraved on the case back and a single button tapered deployment bracelet that is secured to the case batter than any I have ever seen.....? Thanks and enjoy. Simon
XRT Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 Wow...that lume job is spot on. Fantastic precision.
baltic Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 Congrats, The Zigmeister did a great job on reluming my 7753 196, he's a master.
TK471 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Posted June 30, 2007 There is no one better than Rob at reluming those sausage numerals. His work is flawless. When he tells you to expect some inconsistency, he's just being modest. Your watch looks great. Congrats.
babola Posted July 1, 2007 Report Posted July 1, 2007 Is it rare...you betcha ! It's unobtainable in that particular config these days as new... Definitelly a keeper in anyone's books ! cheers, babola
V Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 For me the best watch from the ones you posted the last days.. The reluming is PERFECT and the movement makes it definately a keeper... Have you tried it with leather straps or this is your heavy metal watch?
fishgodeep Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Posted July 3, 2007 Thanks all for the positive comments - great satisfaction when the finished article gets expert seal of approval. V- you're right ....this is the metal bracelet watch - Rob has my old case 196 in the workshop for a re-lume and quasi Swiss upgrade - I just need a date wheel from Lello when he's back up and running.....or working etc. The Europelli gator on the 000 is destined for the 196 . You have made me think though .....the Kevlar might look good on this 236 ....think the chunky brushed buckle will give it a sporty / race track look and less sub-ocean than you might first think. I'll check it out and post some photos later Cheers Simon
