bobkat Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Hello everyone! I finally got my first rep after the original one i ordered had some problems with the bracelet, the pearl, and the dial. Now this second one I got seems to have a great bracelet and dial, but the pearl is still sub par. The lume appears smeared onto the pearl edges rather than staying within the pearl itself. I was hoping someone here could help me fix this problem. It's just lume, I figure I could scrape it off with something, just don't know what. Here's the pic: Thanks for looking!

lanikai Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 ask your dealer if he can source you another (tab) pearl (only).. let us know either here or via PM .. I may have a spare.. but please check with your dealer first and send the pic with your request Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobkat Posted January 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 Thanks for the suggestion. I'll ask if he can source the tab. That would be perfect! Lucky that the BCEs come with a tabbed pearl i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobkat Posted January 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 So I spoke with my dealer regarding the tab - and he can't source one. If any of you have one for sale, i'd be interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanikai Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 OK BK ... as per our communique .. I will post pics when I get home today, of the pearl tab .. if they look satisfactory to you , you can get in touch with TwoTone (co-admin) sign up for at least "supporter", and as soon as TT gives me the green light the tab is yours.. you are responsible for the shipping charges.. that's all. after all, we do need to pay the utilities around this very large "Living Room" .. ergo the reason I will open what ever I have in surplus to contributing members only .. I'm not trying to cop an attitude ... jus take care of our own.. Cheers~ L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadtorrent Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 That looks great!! I would still upgrade to Supporter to keep this place alive...and to keep all the encouragement and compliments coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Thanks Lanikai! I actually decided to take a toothpick to the pearl edge and see if i could clean it up. This is how it turned out. What do you think? BEFORE: AFTER toothpick attack: Looks good .. I was jus going to post pics of my extra tab... as Toad say's you should still sign up for supporter.. for "good watch karma".. otherwise all your watches will be cursed and stop for no apparent reason.. and there will be nothing you can do to stop it ..

abat Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I love these graphite BCEs, one of my alltime favourites. Glad you got the smeared lume sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
