How do you guys like my Pelagos? (Re lume baby)

[sanankid]

i think the lume on the bezel is not nice. Stock bezel looks way better, dont think it is worth the lume

I understand where you are coming from. Its not an easy relume. But this is better than the stock lume for me. Especialy considering the 3 foot rule.

 

[sanankid]

One foot away.

i just dont see the point of making a really nice repped ceramic bezel this ugly just because of lume. I know that the lume is very important to some people, but i dont understand it.

But if you are happy with the result than its fine

 

[sanankid]

To be honest its not nice stock. Not even close to the gen finish. This needs improvement on v2 imo.

 

[laslopanaflex]

ok did not know that, i thougt it was good from the pics. i owned the gen for over a year

Unfortunately I don't think that lume will stay on the bezel for long if you actually wear the watch.

Clear coat with matte nail polish?

 

[pilworx]

i think friction will in the end win out.

How is the Gen Bezel lumed? From underneeth ?

I got no clue but I'd like to know the process.

 

[Raddave]

AHHH....OK

From Hodinkee....
"The bezel of the Pelagos is also uni-directional and titanium, but with a matte ceramic insert. The ceramic is actually injected with lume materia to provide massive glow in low-light situations"

 

[Raddave]

Now on the stock rep, before relume, the bezel letters were just printed on top of the insert?

 

[sanankid]

Exactly. You cant relume over non lume or cut out.

 

[Raddave]

Too bad, I wish they woulda made the bezel insert like the Ploprof, with matte surface tho and lumed from underneeth.

I think it would have looked just as good , but would be a bit more durable.



But your watch still looks killer !

 

[sanankid]

Thanks man. I'll prob do a bezel swap when the v2 comes out if it is improved.

 

[egroegart]

[sanankid]
