A S-Lumed PO for a fellow member

Just finished reluming a watch this evening, so I thought I would share the process shots so far.

Thanks Rob!

You should see what I have coming for it. Youll either love it or hate it, but youll see. Hell, Im not even sure Ill like it, but it was a good idea in my head. Yes, I know I couldnt be more vague, but its a surprise!

One question:
For the PO's that have the bright green lume, are the hands supposed to be brighter than the hour markers? They seem to be a lot brighter than the hour markers for mine, at least..

 

[eyeguy]

Cool! What lume did you use?

No, theyre not supposed to be. Thats an attribute of whats called "rep lume". Then entire dial should be fairly even and bright. Sometimes there might be a tiny variance due to the fact that some dials have differently shaped and sized indices. But for the most part, as evenly colored as possible is preferred.

Sounds like yours needs a relume.
