offshore Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 That looks pretty cool! Too bad the gen doesn't have it!!! @Shundi, Actually makes you wonder why more dive watch manufacturers don't do lumed bezels. I did a fair bit of cave diving in younger days, and a lumed bezel would have been a wonderful help. Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniM4 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) offshore, i don't dive but i think you're right, it would have been very useful Edited March 31, 2009 by DaniM4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkcadet Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 I think that looks awesome! Can you match the lume to the dial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tribal Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Really nice idea I think a blue Lume on the Bezel looks also cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniM4 Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 i was looking for a blue lume it was not available at any watch store, in fact they didn't even know it existed. actually i just finished repainting my bezel white again if ever i can find a blue lume, i'll do it again thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThinkBachs Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Wow! I wonder how many gen Rolex guys will pick up on this! I'd go with the blue lume, though I'm not sure which it would match better: the markers or the hands, though they may actually be the same color...

bkwbkw Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Nice! What lume did you use? I've read that some lume degrades when it comes in contact with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
