Vac Modded V9

[RetFed]

I just got my Vac modded V9 from Vac yesterday. I’m very happy with it. AR Crystal/cyclops, Mikey DW, Vac lume job, movement spa and regulation.

Yes that bezel numerals, hour indices and hands are lumed on all gen SS divers and on v9 Rep.

However, I was curious to know what parts vacuum relumed since only the v9 hands have the incorrect lume from factory.

Re-lume on bezel numerals by hand is very difficult to get right and to achieve gen like crisp text.

He does but he says you have to be extremely careful or it can look bad. He has done hundreds of these divers and his work shows it. He also really dials in the accuracy on the movements after his spa. This one so far is less than one second + in 24 hours.

Does Vac do rebrushing of surfaces and recess the bezel screws as well?
