RWG Technical Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 These 024 dials are a real challenge to lume, especially when the buckets are all removed, and I have to lume the dots and make them round by hand. Both of these are Tritium dials, so here are my results: Close up of the PR And now the challenging 024, with the buckets gone, it's very tedious to get the circles round...I think it turned out fine. Pearl was also lumed to match the rest...and note the Genuine Crowns on both of these watches... PR cased. The owner is traveling so this is for his benefit as well...you'll have them back soon... Thanks for looking. RG
mikellem Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 But Rob, I wouldn't expect anything less from you! You always do a perfect job..! -MM
promotersf Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Good God Rob...you always amaze me! This is why I have 5 more watches mailed today enroute to you!
tanya Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Stunning work !!!!!! Definately the deft hand of an artist especially in getting those dots just perfect!!!! Amazing!!!!
Watchmeister Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Very nice. I am feeling a fair amount of deja vu. :laugh: D- Wear them well.
sharpie Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Wow! That's an excellent work there. Very very nice!
paulw Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Love the work. It's making me think I might pick up a 024 and have Ziggy do the same for me. Ziggy, what is the difference between Tritium and Superlume?
dluddy Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Wow, they look fantastic Rob..... Can't wait till they come home Thanks for going first W
HauteHippie Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Love the work. It's making me think I might pick up a 024 and have The Zigmeister do the same for me. The Zigmeister, what is the difference between Tritium and Superlume? The Zigmeister uses superlume but has a proprietary color mix that makes it look like tritium.
swdivad Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 The Zigmeister... your work is nothing short of amazing!!! I have seen machines that are for applying SL, I think sold by Tritec... sounds interesting, but are these useful or do they make it easier to apply lume?
rckh Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Amazing!! Can we have some lume shot The Zigmeister? Best Regards, Raymond
tech Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 Beautiful work Rob...my 27 is gettin' all giddy just waiting to hit your workbench....and about 7 more watches...lol. cheers
RWG Technical Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Posted January 8, 2008 Wow, thanks for the wonderful feedback everyone, it's very much appreciated. It makes the time and effort of doing up the pictures worth it. @swdivad There is a machine sold by RC Tritec for applying lume, it's about $2K and after reading up on it, not really practical for my application. It designed more for continous applications in an industrial setting. @rckh I'll take some lume shots tonight, they don't glow very much, which is correct for Tritium. RG
