RWG Technical Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I understand that a couple of weeks ago, on a forum far far away...someone asked a question: "Who does the best lume?" Of course the answers came from the forum members who recommended a number of modders, one of which happened to be none other than yours truly. Some jabs were thrown my way, and someone posted a number of my lume shots, without stating who did the work. Seeing the pictures and the quality of the workmanship, most thought that it was Kent of Everest watchworks who did the work. When it was pointed out that the work was mine, more jabs and insults were thrown my way... So lets set the record straight, sometimes you need to show off, and this is one of those times, so bear with me I have been an artist since I could pick up a pencil and paper, with that in mind I want to start out with a 036. This is a Tritium dial so I lumed it in Tritium Super Luminova mix, and changed the lettering to "T Swiss T". I am still waiting for someone else to lume a Cousteau bezel so I can see if anyone else has mastered that mother of all lume jobs...sausage dials have nothing on that baby...sorry I digress... B&R Some claim the true test of an "artist" is sausage lume...so the to the title of the post, here is my "Artistic" rendition of a B&R. NOTE the close up daylight shots, anyone who posts glow only pictures of their lume work is hiding his workmanship. EXPOSURE OF 0.5 Seconds, no "Turbo" scam overexposed shots to fool you into thinking I stole some nuclear waste... So there is my rant, and I hope you like the B&R as much as I do, I think it turned out great. Now the downside of course is that unlike a true artist who makes customers wait for months, the owner of this B&R, (who's watch arrived yesterday and will be in his hands before the end of next week), will probably suffer a stroke when the watch arrives in his hands in 2 weeks, not 2 months...sorry...I went as slow as I could If you wanted to wait for months for your lume, you should have gone somewhere else , I take lume work in anytime and turn it in around in aprox 2 weeks... Thanks for reading. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cib0rgman Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 The Zigmeister, That is a superb job. I have some stuff That When things get better here in the US I will send to you. is a Work of Art. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siesta181 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sweeet..... Great work as always. I really don't know which amazes me more, the lumework or the turaround time? Both are unbelievable. I remembered my Slevin's time in The Zigmeister's spa. I emailed J to check if the watch has arrived. She said work was completed and was about to email me the cost of the mods. Awesome turnaround time. Cheers Siesta181 Still thinking of which watch deserves the The Zigmeister treatment in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 i think i know who this watch belongs to (unfortunately not me!!), and i think he is going to be very pleased amazing work ziggy; i must have missed the thread where people were taking shots at you, but in my mind there should never have been a debate in the first place.... deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertieng Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Love to get my B&R lumed. There is no doubt The Zigmeister's artistic lume work is second to none, no matter it is amateur or professional. Some of the great lumes done by The Zigmeister on my PAM's some days back is still glowing on my wrist like a torch. Pity that he refused to accept doing for me anymore Still I will keep those beautiful lumed PAM's as a very important part of my collection that I will never sell.

This is really getting old...if stupid people want to continue to promote equally untalented modders...go for it. Please, please, please...stop throwing around insults like a bunch of little girls in middle school. Put up or shut the F up. Jealousy is so ugly...if you think you can do better, great! Show your talents through your work and stop the teenage pissing matches. Asshats. It'll probably only take one guess for most members to figure out the offending forum too..

Wow, thanks so much for the endorsement. As I stated in the original post, I wanted to set the record straight, and showcase the quality of my work. I think this and the Cousteau bezels, and the lettering changes on T dials should set the record straight of what I can accomplish and the quality that I can achieve, all freehand I might add...
