Anyone know the correct mixture of superlume for a Fiddy? What proportions?

The closest lume fix I've seen so far on a 127 rep was done with the C1/C3 mix in 80% - 20%.

Just remember, the gen Fiddy lume colour is very close to ivory white when non-charged, and glows blue when charged.
Forget about stories of gen PAMs using C3 for their lume - not true at all !

All Vendome era and onwards gen historic PAMs come with white dial numerals and hour indices, in matte finish.
On some contemporary autos and some recent subs the color is just slightly green when not charged, and the paint finish has considerably more sheen to it.

...just my 2 cents on this matter...but willing to dissect and elaborate further if required :)

cheers,

actually tritec said that panerai uses mostly c3 lume on there new stuff(i buy from the same lady they buy from) , but they have used natural pigment on some stuff as well and she also thinks they mix sometimes as well , not trying to confuse u but its hard to say , lmao i would do like one said about mixing or just use c3 its very nice looking and not that green , or use natural , lol

also they use gloss on some models as well from what she told me on the phone , just dont know which ones, lol

another note to keep in mind, rolex , breitling and omega , use c1 on everything now adays and it is a mix between gloss and matte , go figure they have to be difficult as well , lol

just things i was told by my sales rep over at the tritec company

just trying to help
