milsub5517 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) It seems to me that the lume dots and lume in general are the only "major" problems with the new skyland. Can't the lume dots be removed and reapplied properly during lume job? Can our in-house pro's comment on this please?

jdinjax Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I was hoping/thinking the same thing. Unfortunately, I must have really drawn the short straw with mine. Nine out of the twelve markers are off center. Three of them really bad. I'm hoping the dealer (one of the most recommended ones here) makes good on his reputation. One, two, hec even three could be tolerated, but where's the QC....nine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwhitesox Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 LOL. The gen dial doesn't even have these blobby bits of lume so not sure why they did this. YEs they can be removed and redone and it should be really easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdinjax Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Thanks for the warm welcome carlsbad.... Everyone starts out as a new member. If QC isn't something that this community encourages are "preferred" dealers to uphold, then why do we buy from them? Why not take our chances on CQOut, DHGate, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milsub5517 Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) guys you are going OFF TOPIC here. it dos not metter how many are off center, the question is : Can it be easily fixed during lume job? if the answer is yes, then this watch deserves good lume anyway, so markers shouldnt be a BIG issue. although i agree that it is annoying. they ALWAYS screw up something LOL !

jdinjax Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Back on topic here...I have my watch at a local trusted watchsmith to see if it can be done without costing significant $$. I will post once he gets back to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky78 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I only have 2 lume dots that needs fixing... guess which... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I have flicked them off with a tooth pick. they come off complete with very little force. Now I am sure this could scratch your dial if you are not careful, but I did not have any problems doing this with other reps. (113 PAM and a Datejust.

takashi Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 The lume dots should be larger filling up the white background space. Yes, it can be removed with a toothpick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not take our chances on CQOut, DHGate, etc. Because then we all wouldn't get our commission checks from the preferred dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
