This motta fucka was more challenging that I had expected. When I first saw the photo of the piece, I though there were no lume on the indices and just at the 12, 3, 6, 9.

Oh was I wrong.

The lume on the indices are on each side of the indice. The indices are not removable either. So they must be lumed on the dial carefully.

Here are the results.

Wow, awesome job! How did you do it? With a very steady hand or did you mask the dial off?

steady does it! there is no way to mask anything off, too small and the residue would do damage to the dial

That is one heck of a lume job! Holy Moly - I have to ask to the method as well: Did you use any form of magnifying or microscope? It must be SO small :D

Thanks guys!
The process itself does not take long since lume dries up fairly quick. Working time for any relume is max 30 mins.
