Ska 11 Posted March 9, 2011 I Recently purchased a Daytona from Del (cheers again mate) and was lucky enough to read Kenny's Lume tutorial and watch Wiz's Rolex Lume video. Thanks so much to all you guys. Having a spare couple of hours last night I decided to have a go at reluming the daytona. I finished it off this morning. This time I used W@tchlume WL-WG 5-15 microns luminova and Tritec Binder/Diluter Let me know what you think. This one was taken with my D5000 These is just an iPhone shot This can definitely be improved upon, for example by painting the inside of the markers white, but for a £30 watch its not bad I think.

SteveA 309 Posted March 9, 2011 Really like the watch and the lume.Its a bargain for £30 ,was that a private sale and is it quartz or auto ?I wouldnt dare try that myself as Iam all thumbs and would end up throwing it ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted March 9, 2011 Lol No Chance Del Steve, its a 21J auto, and nope it was a standard Member to Member sale, I was just fast as lightening!!!!! Here's a quick iPhone shot of the watch with no charge on the lume. I say no charge but its still glowing a little 4 hours later......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeNnY 29 Posted March 9, 2011 Super job Ska ! I wonder, did you remove the indexes from dial or just do it on the dial ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ska 11 Posted March 9, 2011 I removed the indices and stripped the old lume out, then polished them, cemented them back into the dial and applied the new lume with them all in place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
