cwai02 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossanti Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwai02 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest overboosted Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8o8 Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share 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.

cwai02 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bignasty Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share 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?

ravishingrick Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwai02 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
