Rolex lume comparison: Relumed vs Gen

Recommended Posts

Wiz

I happen to have some Rolex dials of various origins on the bench, so I figured I'd do a quick compare.

 

- Left: Gen sea-dweller dial relumed by a professional Rolex refurbisher.

- Middle: Gen submariner dial with original lume.

- Right: Rep submariner dial relumed by me.

 

The dial relumed by a professional Rolex refurbisher has a slightly different glow from the other 2, the green tint is a bit stronger, while the others have more of a light green / lime tint.

 

I'm actually quite surprised the relumed dial glows as strong as the gen one, because the rep markers are not made like the gens, and can't contain as much lume as the gen markers. Good surprise. :)

It's a little big to be posted here, send me an email if you want it. But why do you want it, aren't these ones big enough?

Kenny - it would be ridiculous to post 6mpix images on the web - if you want to slow pageloads down for everyone, that's the way to do it (actually an image that size would get deleted by me). Hell, the smallest screen I use is full HD (that's my laptop!) and the screen I use at work is quite a bit higher than HD res but those photos are quite big enough for the purpose.
