lume on replicas

[sead1999]

i was wondering can we relume the watches ourself, is it a hard process, or we have to send it like to ziggy and get ripped,
and by the way just for info
The 111h, 177h, 183 and 1950 all come with super-lume from the factory now, but no other panerais do.

great job, less of money..

& yes, you can do yourself.. first need right tools, right lume, and plenty practice on old watch dials..

not easy..

Also check out Flavor Flav on RWG. He does great work and VERY fast turn-around time!

Factory super-lume? Lume yes, super no. I have all my Pams re-lumed by Vacuum. Incredible job!! They glow like a Seiko Monster and all night long. What he or Ziggy charges is no rip in any respect and worth every penny, IMHO. Try it, you'll like it!

I've seen a SL'd 177 (~20% C3 + 80% C1 to match gen colors) vs. a factory 177 and I'd rate the lume difference at maybe 15-20%. Biggest difference was that the factory lume was not as white as the custom SL. But the glow difference was not that substantial. I think they do in fact use SL on the 177H and 111H. Haven't seen Master Zig's work in person yet but only heard good things about his SL--maybe he adds more C3? Do you have any pics of your lume after 15 minutes and then after, say, 2 hours? I'd like to see how they compare. Thanks!
