DR3M3L 4 Posted April 13, 2014 One of my colleagues bought a watch and he really likes the watch itself. Only one problem, it was hard to tell the time on it because of the black on black Here's a pic of the watch: So I offered him a free lume job Fully charged: After 1 minute: After 5 minutes: Thanks for looking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DR3M3L 4 Posted April 13, 2014 Your a man of many talents " J " Bet you mate is as pleased as punch, especially as he can now tell the time at night Dal. Thanks Dal! He's indeed very pleased with the result Waiting for a package from the RWG shop including some lume powder, will do a few rollies to try that powder out Hope to find a good mix like Kenny found, his lume is glowing so much stronger! Will do some comparison shots too with different lume powders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SSTEEL 0 Posted April 13, 2014 Congrats Joran, nicely done. I am still in the learning stage of reluming myself, that is when I have some free time lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.Eric 693 Posted April 13, 2014 The lume from the shop is good. What colors did you get? From the 2 bags I got I have done at least 20 lume jobs and Should be able to 20 more. It is a bargain and my watches are Readable into the early hours of the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twofake 0 Posted April 13, 2014 Joran. Good work. If you add some lume to the indices , your friend will be even happier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSJ 0 Posted April 13, 2014 Good job Joran . I've done a bit. The RWG shop lume is the best I've used but I haven't tried Tritec. Wanted to develop a little bit of skill first. I find the waterbased acrylic varnishes dry too quickly so I'm using spirit based now. Took me a while to work that out. It would be great to know what you guys are using.

DR3M3L 4 Posted April 13, 2014 Great Job J! You clearly have the time and patience for this hobby. Well done and great thread! Thanks mate! Congrats Joran, nicely done. I am still in the learning stage of reluming myself, that is when I have some free time lol My first time was actually a mess :P Good luck mate, it's a great addition to the regular watchmaking! The lume from the shop is good. What colors did you get? From the 2 bags I got I have done at least 20 lume jobs and Should be able to 20 more. It is a bargain and my watches are Readable into the early hours of the morning. From the RWG shop I bought the g101 If it's really that good I'll buy all the other colors too! Joran. Good work. If you add some lume to the indices , your friend will be even happier. True! But I'm not going to take the risk at this moment, have to practise a little more Good job Joran . I've done a bit.

I've got my binder from ebay.. Will get the link for you if you want! Mine dries quick too, but found a tip online to mix it within a small (really small) bottle so there will be less aur available to dry out, this worked like a charm! My bottle is just 2 cm in height: Bottle in the middle used for mixing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
