lanikai Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I had to face away from the window so as not to catch the relection off the flat crystal, so the pics seem darker than they really are .. it glows bright... not as bright as Ziggy's nor does it last as long .. but it's gtg .. just under a .5 sec. exposure ... check the second hand.

deltatahoe Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 looking good lani i'll admit -- i almost closed the deal on a used wm9 v2 sub; after that fell through, i emailed bk after seeing your pics last night deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 The glow is less because it is C1. C3 always has the brightest glow but is not correct for Rolex. Why in the gen. Rolex it glows very bright and for a long period because the whole marker is filled with SL, large amount indeed instead of just applying a layer on the top in the reluming job.

I am lovin the entire piece.. but my other C1 lumes last longer.. agree, not as bright as the SL .. and I am not versed on lume material.. perhaps it needs more time. I did soak the bracelet in "3-IN-ONE" oil.. and the links are much improved.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oiling the bracelet is essential on these Rollie reps...makes a HUGEEEE difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
