KeNnY 29 Posted March 23, 2017 Hey all, I always enjoyed this piece, I think I have it now for 6 years, and even that it was a cheapo Parnis watch, the construction is fantastic on it. The dial is nicely readable with the black background and nice white font and large white hands. And also the monstrous size of 50mm is definitely a clock, an watch beacon, a perfect summer watch, to all to see But it lacked on important thing, that I always love on watches from childhood, from the time when I had mine first watch on my wrist. And that was LUME ! In the past I was afraid to go with the printed dial for relume, due to the difficulty of managing nice shape of the computer printing. But now mine hand is more steady, and I know mine limits. So gone ahead with it, disassembled the watch, removed the hands and overlume all the most visible white points I think would be great to glow, and now I have a RADIOACTIVE NIGHT BEACON on my hand. Now I really like the watch even more, as I always was fascinated with LARGE glowing areas. And in Summer, when I will come from Sunlight to dark building, my wrist will simply GLOW :) SO just wanted to share some glowing pics, for all you lume lovers like me. Thank you for watching and sorry for clickbait if you wanted to see big black something different... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted March 23, 2017 Wow :-) Thanks buddy ! :) Fantastic job as always M! Thank you E !! :) Whoa! Holy lume batman. Na Na Na Na NA NA, LUME BATMAN ! Thanks mate ! What brand of lume did you use on this? Inquiring minds, and all that... Thank you buddy ! :) I use Tritec RC, the best one you can get Wow! Awesome job mate! I wonder if lume could be applied on "Black" painted hands? I have the exact watch with white dial and black hands/markings. Thanks buddy ! :) The black lume is not that strong compared to white / yellowish / greenish tint lume as the particles are covered with paint. But yes, it is possible, the lume is mostly "Greyish" not totally black, similar like on the Sinn U watches with black indexes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
