Tiffany’s 1680 Relume

[hanski]

Recently got the chance to relume a JK Factory Tiffany’s Dial 1680. It’s a pleasure reluming this “era” watch with a creamy yellow, slightly pillowed lume. The added depth helps the flat, stock Cartel dial come alive.

I just got my hands on some dark brown tritium tone lume powder - my next endeavor is to start experimenting with adding another layer of tone/texture to the lume dots - mimicking the degrading tritium lume of years past. Just need to get my hands on a spare 1680 dial...

Oh, some pictures:

Looks really nice, the rounded lume is near perfect circle. Isnt the lume supposedly dead considered its a dead tritium?
great job man! Loving the pics.

Touché!

Is it 100% true to Gen? No. But this is a replica watch, it's really 100% NOT true to Gen. With that, I believe we have flexibility and freedom in how we pay homage. I like the lume plots to look the part (of an old watch) but function as they should.
