SeanusMaximus 0 Posted September 5, 2011 How about a yellow/orange and red? almost like a temp. severity scale? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted September 6, 2011 Just so you know, the bezels are not SS, but chrome plated base metal. Even the newest models ? I have read that the newest models what you can buy (with the automatic movement, not the hand wind) and whole stainless steel cases. Pic 3 and 4 are really cool. Yeah and most difficult ! How about a yellow/orange and red? almost like a temp. severity scale? I don't want to use much these colors. They are weak lume compared to Blue / Aqua or Green, The blue one what I got is from GLonation is quite strong when fully charged and longevity is +5Hours. The Red we will see, I have one red but lume lasting only 15 minutes.. We will see how the W@tchlume red will last. But looks like we have an winner of the most hard relume what would be done Picture 3 for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted September 6, 2011 Soo looks like we will have an winner of combo Damn reluming those number will be hard, but I will manage ! It would be mine diver watch, and I was always fascinated by russian watches. And this cost only 70USD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Yan 8 Posted November 22, 2012 I , like you Kenny, love old Rusian watches too. I have some of these old military watches and I think they would look great with a serious Lume job. You definitely should Lume the numerals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
