Looking for Patina Magician

[LeChatBotté]

Greetings!

I have a (modern) Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster that looks WAY too green and unexperienced for me. I'd like to age the numerals and hands to make the yellow lume look more like old tritium .

Is there a trusty patina wizard that you guys know of? Ideally he would be based in Canada but U.S.A is no problem at all.

Thank you and have a great day!

Thank you @derjenigewelcher !
I should've mentioned that I'm looking for a personal recommendation, perhaps of someone who's done the same kind faux-tina job and was happy with the results and the transaction

It’s completely reasonable (and legitimate) to ask, of course.

That said, here’s something to consider:

Before seeking recommendations, it’s worth doing some proactive research on potential vendors. Use the forum’s internal search function and Google (try adding "site:forum.replica-watch.info" to your search terms) for two key reasons:

1. The more specific your request, the less likely it is that someone will have a perfect recommendation tailored to your exact needs.

2. If someone does provide a recommendation, keep in mind that it’s just one person’s opinion—subjective and possibly biased. By researching vendors yourself and reading a range of reviews (rather than just direct recommendations), you’ll have a better chance of making an informed decision and avoiding disappointment.
