cwai02 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 I bought the reluming paint from ofrei. It's about $40. My result. Not bad at all. Sandwich dial is easier imo. Some other watches: The genuine PO is like a torch...
palpatine Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 Yes great work man... I like it a LOT... //robi nice job!!
pubus Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 I love your work The Zigmeister told us its very very difficult to do it well, but it seems you didnt do bad at all!! Tell us how you lumed it, with what tools etc, maybe some photos? Kuba
mossanti Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 My jaw on the table when i look at it ...damn nice...is it hard ??
dadog13 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 those are torch...not watches... you have OVERlumed them a little bit...as a matter of fact i can see you from my office in Croatia...you are somewhere in the USA... ...to be precisely in Miami, Amon Ra street number 13...
mossanti Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 How do you do it ?..is the relume you bought for 40 bucks is liquid ? very nice man ...cant get over it .
cwai02 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Posted May 5, 2006 Takashi also bought the kit, you can check here: http://www.replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1885 The kit comes with a bottle of glue, a bottle of luminous powder, and a bottle of diluent. You will need to mix these stuffs to make the paint. Then you can use the oil pike to apply the paint. If you wanna try, try it on a sandwich dial first. You just need to be patient and don't try to apply too much paint.
Guest overboosted Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 MY EYES!!!! wow, good job bro. You must have quite the steady hand. Now i know who to PM when I want a relume job Seriously, if you did all those watches, I'd say you have quite the business opportunity in your hands. Well Done
marrickvilleboy Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 hey good work! one question, what colour is it when its not shining like a torch?? as in what colour are the dial indices and hands in daylight? thanks mate!
8o8 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 droolz very very sweet first it was strap envy now its lume envie
V Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 Nice work mate.. Too bad my hands shake like crasy when it is time for small anxious jobs like this
8o8 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 ok, since no1 else asked... how does these compre to the super luminova? hopefully you've got one that's supre lume'd for comparison. I'm more intersted in the initial intensity, then the longevity
RWG Technical Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 Excellent work, glad to see you giving it a try... Wonderful job all around, thanks for posting the pics. RG ok, since no1 else asked... how does these compre to the super luminova? hopefully you've got one that's supre lume'd for comparison. I'm more intersted in the initial intensity, then the longevity The answer to that question has already been covered in this post... The "Regular" lume in this post is the lume from Ofrei, that he mistakenly advertizes as Super Lume, it isn't, only the lume from RC Tritec is actual Super Lume... Lume comparison post. RG
cwai02 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Posted May 5, 2006 The Zigmeister is right. Those are not super lume. The lume doesn't last very long. As far as I know, the superlume can last for hours.
Bignasty Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 (edited) Wow those look great! You aren't trying to do some for money are you But seriously could you do a tutorial since you are so good at it and also so great at taking photos And does it really take your camera 30 seconds to snap a shot? I guess you probably use a much nicer camera than I do. Mine snaps same speed every time. Jon Oh yeah @RBJ where can you purchase Super Luminova? Edited May 5, 2006 by Bignasty
marrickvilleboy Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 hey good work! one question, what colour is it when its not shining like a torch?? as in what colour are the dial indices and hands in daylight? thanks mate! ?? thanks in advance Cwai02!
cwai02 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Posted May 5, 2006 ?? thanks in advance Cwai02! light green, like those on the rep.
ravishingrick Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 To be able to judge if a lume job is done well or not, you need to show pics of the dial uncharged.
V Posted May 5, 2006 Report Posted May 5, 2006 To be able to judge if a lume job is done well or not, you need to show pics of the dial uncharged. That's so true...
cwai02 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Posted May 5, 2006 Here you go. The dial is fine. I don't see any difference comparing to my un-relumed fiddy. The hands are not perfect, but acceptable. Anyway, I would probably relume the sandwich dial only for the next project. The sandwich dial is indeed a lot easier.
