Rctritech sells it but it not cheap and they don't always reply to email.
Have you ever lumed before? If not I'd suggest practicing with cheap watches and cheap lume. At $45-$65 a gram its expensive to learn with..

Wow! I want all my watches, rep and Gen superlumed! My watch case will make my bed room look like there is a space ship landing in there when the 4 watch winders are turning.
From me, to you.

Very interesting comparison and surprising info. Thanks for the pics
You are welcome!! That's why I'm here to learn!!! This is the best place I have ever come across for learning everything you need to know about watches!
This was a great read! Really awesome job [MENTION=99350]Thehitman[/MENTION] !
I have 2 watches with BGW9, and a Seiko with Lumibrite, Lume is very interesting, how the same lume can look different on different watches.
My question is, when re luming a watch, is there a point of diminishing returns? And if so, how do you know when you have reached it ?
Thanks

There is... I get many people that want a relume do to a dirty index. So once I receive the watch I will see if the lume is worthy. If it is I say I can't make this like much better and save them some money by fixing the dirty index instead of luming the watch for 3x that amount. If you have anything in the Superluminova range standard grade up there really is no reason to relume unless it's old and dim or if you are crazy like me and must have the absolute best performing lume money can buy... LOL. Chances are if you can see it when you wake up in the morning. It's decent lume. If you can see if for 5 minutes after charging it's not so great.

Man that looks amazing! Is the lume that's being used the same as this one?

If that's grade A yes exactly the same. They offer standard grade grade A and X1 BG w9 doesn't come in X1 but c3 c1 GL w9 all do. If my theory is correct BG w9 X1 might be what Rolex uses so it won't be sold.. That's just my theory though.
