:D Yeah, reluming isn't my strong point. Plus I didn't have my glasses on so it's a wonder they are as straight as they are...

 

Besides which, I thought "vintage lume" was supposed to be equivalent to stitching on vintage panerai straps :)

That is a very difficult watch to lume. Without the outlines around the markers it is really hard since those markers keep your eyes seeing it as straight. Besides practice makes perfect. I think that is a very nice job, especially for a first try on a 1675.
