cypher Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Was looking into getting this with the PVD and white markers and was wondering... 1. Does Andrew's $248 version come with superlume as stated on his website or just "superb lume" like earlier? 2. Is the gen PVD matte black or is it refelective black like the rep? 3. Has anyone had any experience with the rep rubber strap? I've read that they are hard and uncomfortanle. How much does a gen rubber strap cost and wher can I find it onilnle? 4. When you say black lume are you talking about painting the markers nad hands to make it the Phantom version or applying black lume to the limited edition orange versions. What color does the black lume show in the dark? 5. Looks wise which do you prefer? The SS w/ black dial or the PVD w/ black dial? Whcih is more accurate? 6. Could people post pics of thier B&R's (lume shots if possible)? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) Hi, I don't know where you are based, but I am in London and Jess James in Soho who are their main dealer sell the rubber strap for Edited July 6, 2007 by Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks for the advice Tom. I think I'm going to go with the Black PVD with the white markers. Also about the lume are you saying that the lume that glows green will be brighter than the lume that glows white? Because I was thinking of getting the Black PVD with white markers (which will have green lume) and have it done so it glows white. Is this possible at all? Or is it not possible to have the original lume removed?

Ptolomeo Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 1. Does Andrew's $248 version come with superlume as stated on his website or just "superb lume" like earlier? No superlume... standard rep lume (green and too poor) 2. Is the gen PVD matte black or is it refelective black like the rep? 3. Has anyone had any experience with the rep rubber strap? I've read that they are hard and uncomfortanle. How much does a gen rubber strap cost and wher can I find it onilnle? Try here 4. When you say black lume are you talking about painting the markers nad hands to make it the Phantom version or applying black lume to the limited edition orange versions.

Not AR and not superlume. A pity. With these mods it'd be perfect. 6. Could people post pics of thier B&R's (lume shots if possible)? Maybe in the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I believe that C3 (Green) glows brighter than C1 (White) - but don't quote me on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypher Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Tom, I was reading up on how to relume watches and saw that you were trying to do this. Have you had good results? Did you lume your BR01? Any advice you have for me about medium and oilers? Any opinions on Ready Set Glo as opposed to Tritec? Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

FasTTaP Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 2. Is the gen PVD matte black or is it refelective black like the rep? Definitely matte, saw it while window shopping last week end and it almost looked like matte plastic (pretty cool, though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
