Diver inner-bezel lume flaw-- what can be done about it?

[nlnlnlnene]

gen

v3 rep

As you can see, the 0 looks rather obviously different.
The gen inner bezel lume seems to have some vertical thickness.
Also it is more thick in 2D plane.
Also the inner bezel 0 looks like a square inside the 0 while the rep does not.

Is this something PBdad or Vac can relume to fix?
Or is this a fab issue that must be addressed by future iterations?

I'll let you know in about a month

 

[nlnlnlnene]

Great!
Yes
please let us all know!

Haha same.. I'll let you know in a month too

This one was relumed by Vac and seems to be pretty close to the gen.

Yes that's a really good lume... Gd enuff imo. More squarish inside the zeros will seal it

 

[TESLA760]

I'd like to see a dial close up. Honestly, no one will notice the crappy lume unless they are holding it up to their face.

 

[nlnlnlnene]

How much does it cost for a relume job that's as involved as this one?

 

[TESLA760]

I suggest you contact the modders and ask. It's not a simple Relume.

Yes the lume on the bezel is a massive tell, probably the only one if you ignore the gen 21.6k vph movement.

Basically the v3.5 is outstanding already out of the box, just needs a relume and waterproofing.

Is the 21.6k vph vs 28.8k vph obvious by visual inspection?
That's a pretty costly mod.

for the bezel number lum i have a idea ... but need to do some R&d first

There are some comparison videos on here (I think) - definitely on RWG by SquashLover

I did the comparison as I have a low-beat AP Diver and for me, it IS noticeable but YMMV.

Ah that's just great.

I guess the cost of original v3.5 + relume + vac's 21.6k vph movement install will probably run you close to 1000 but still a fraction of owning a gen.

My Diver 3.5 is in process with vac for all the above. Lume, 21,6 beat movement mod, waterproofing and more! Hope to have it back in 2 weeks. Will definitely be doing a nice detailed review with lots of pics and movement comparison video.

you will be the first owner of a gen AP Diver for less than $1000!

If i'm not wrong total cost shld be <$800

Nice work by Goin too.

 

[squashlover]

Actually that is a V2 Diver and the bezel numerals are thicker than the V3 or V3.5

Now if they could use the V2 bezel in the V3 or 3.5 that would be the best solution. Sadly, I do not think the V2 bezel fits in the V3 case. Maybe modded it would.
