Ratubbs 0 Posted August 13, 2014 To my watch-smiths and tinkerers, I'm wondering how a glass lumed bezel ie; omega ploprof or FFF, is made? Are the numerals and markers vinyl or some type of paint stenciled on? Thanks for any info or help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cynikal.Mindset 1 Posted August 13, 2014 glass/sapphire/plexi painted black with clear numerals and lume either applied directly to the insert itself or to the bezel base assembly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ratubbs 0 Posted August 13, 2014 Ok so would the process be reversed for a bezel like the White Omega Ploprof? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't sure if using something like paint thinner would etch the glass, thought perhaps there a specialty solution. Thanks again for being a Prick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
