I didn’t ask about any new versions, but my latest qc pics look less pink than those above. Could just be the lighting.
It's just the lighting, still looks like the pink hands to me.I didn’t ask about any new versions, but my latest qc pics look less pink than those above. Could just be the lighting.

under natural light / sun, the lume in hands is pinkish colour
my above photo is under somewhat cloudy 4pm
The hands are an off putting pink in most lighting instead of brown/brown orange. It’s very distracting.

anyone else confirm there is a v5 out?
at least could we buy the hands from another shitty release and put those on vs v4? lol

On wrist it’s fine, it just bothers me personally. I had to sell it.it's true that the pink tint is there once we know the hands are carrying them, it's actually not obvious on your wrist when it's 1 or 2 meters away from others most of the time
Repainting the hands is hard, I tried on a few from AliExpress, it’s really hard to get it in the lines properly.
In terms of repainting, there’s like lume that’s basically white. You mix this with acrylic paint and a binder to color match whatever you want. You can use rgb to calculate out the paint mix as well (google rgb to paint). There’s also a few other techniques like mixing with varnish and such. Some use like actual pigments, etc.
It’s out of my skill set and painting the hands is very difficult. For one the lume barely even stays in place, if you paint slightly too hard you’ll go right through the back of the hand. Second, I have no idea how they get such perfect edges when they do this by hand. I tried tape but even that’s not great. Obviously the rep makers and most manufacturers are using machines for this, so accuracy is easier, but some still do hand paint and they have crisp perfect edges.
Sadly there’s not a replacement hand set either. The only close one doesn’t have the brushed effect on the hands.

perfectly understandable, I don't have any watch making skill as well, so re-painting the hands is definitely out
just wonder why the rep manufacturer able to make correct colour indices but unable to do the same on the hands...
Because they fucked up but made like 1000 of them, so yeah. Now they have an excuse for a new version too.perfectly understandable, I don't have any watch making skill as well, so re-painting the hands is definitely out

The lume on the hands have a slight pinkish hue. It looks like fauxtina with some pink added to it (instead of being purely brown/yellow).
