AP Royal oak offshore lume and bracelet problem

[gilibz]

Hey

I just bought this watch:

http://puretimewatch.com/product/royal-oak-offshore-ultimate-silver-themes-on-bracelet/

I was shocked to know that it is coming from the factory unlumed. Why dont they lume it? Also, about the new bracelet, its very hard to open it. the closing is not easy though. How can I make the bracelet be opened smoother? any suggestions?

Also, can someone show me real pics of this AP with a lume?

Who is the best guy to make it lumed?

Thanks all

Open and close the bracelet a few times, it loosens up a little. Also, if I'm not mistaken, the gen version doesn't have lume either.

how can it be? a $15,000 watch without a lume?

You paid $15,000 for it and no lume, No wonder you are disappointed.

Black lume is not easy to do...

No such as completely black lume, it simply does not exsist, it would have to be a dark shade of grey to have any lume whatsoever, strap on the other hand, try oiling it.

A bunch of the AP's (gen and rep) don't have any lume whatsoever. Generally, if they have colored (black, red, blue) hands or numbers - no lume. Pretty much only the versions with white numbers or hands have lume. I have a Navy Themes = no lume. I have a black dial rubber clad = amazing lume. Don't be bummed, just the one you got.

watch@lume yes, but this is with white numbers. Vac doesnt have pics with black numbers I dont know how the final result will be. If someone have AP with black numbers and can pic his lume that will be great. Thanks

Yellow usually has lume also.
