Lume job to do, hints or help needed.


1665fan

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I bought a nice 1665 from Paso recently, and now I have a problem.

The lume dots are shiny, and I do not know any vintage rolex that has shiny lume dots...

So I thought I could relume it with a matte color, that they are not shiny any more.

Do you have any hints, tricks for me?

I thought I could perhaps make some templates I could lay over the dial, but I don't think

that would be so easy. But free handed is also not so easy, because you would need a very calm hand....

So if you can help me, or are located in Germany or in the EU and would do that for me, please contact me soon.

Kind regards

Chris

Did you do some modding at the indices first, or did you only spray the

matte varnish over it, and now every shiny effect anything had has gone?

All I did was remove the dial & spray the entire surface (including the indices) as outlined in the thread. I had originally planned to lume the index markers, but one of the benefits to using the spray is that it not only removes the original shininess of the index markers, but slightly plumps them up as well. So, at least for the time being, I decided to leave the markers as they are.

Do you never heard about luminova-replacement-dials? Then you should read something about vintage watches!

The paso-MBW-dials are awesome, you should let the markers like they are!

And BTW, this watches are gens, not paso-modded-MBW'S!!! :D

I got my white letters 1665 MBW from Paso too.

The dots are not shining.

I think it's strange that your one have shining dots . :o
