MikeMcNair 0 Posted June 13, 2011 So, Robert made a comment in my "the dssd was in water" thread. The pearl I had was filthy, and frankly got ruined by nailpolish remover while painting the bezel numbers. So, during dinner with the family, I RE painted the numbers, took out the whole pearl, polished and stripped it, and re limes and sealed it. Pix say it all. Now it does look like a small piece of glass oh, and Robert, it's WHITE again(and glows blue of course) Now, I also painted the numbers and triangle on the bezel insert AND touched up my ska lume job. (it was perfect, but while the dial was exposed, I made sure all surfaces of lume were level, and trimmed the the extra hypo cement off the 6 and 9 markers. It was perfect, don't get me wrong, I just touched it up a little ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
