Christmas came early for me too !

Me being the impatient sort , not gonna wait for ziggy and vac, I've commissioned my go-to watch guru ... Takashi to do the relume and semi-mattify the dial.

The lume colour comes out just nice for aged tritium that age.

The dial surface is semi matte, under the watch head crystal , it looks great !

Lume depth modeled after the paneristi pre-v article diagram.

Am very happy with the results.
Next step , takashi dlc !

Excited to finally have my first dlc black pam :)

009 and 360 in progress , I'm sure it will be worth the wait .


Many thanks to unregistered and takashi ...
Great pals and guru advice from Rwi forum days.

Enjoy the pics :

Here's the preliminary lume shot. I take it using 1/4s exposure setting. I added about +2.0eV afterwards and cropped it.

It should glow similar to C3 Superluminova but slightly dimmer. It should last as long as C3. This is one of major lume components to create the mixture.

I will take more shots when the whole watch is completed.
