no lume on genuine PO bezel?

[auslander]

I took my genuine PO bezel I purchased from Ofrei out of the packaging to prep for my SMP project and noticed that the pearl had no lume. For those who've also got these I ask, am I going to have to get it lumed? I ordered hands as well on their way and a 45mm bezel. Are they the same? I'm a trifle perplexed. What am I missing??

It looks perfect. Just charge the pearl with a bright light. Get the room dark and enjoy.

So you are building a SMP or PO?

Its not lighting up Q lol! Thats why I'm so morose!! I feel like a fool. I shouldve thought to charge it. Uhg. Cheers Q!

To answer your 2nd question I'm building both; I'm essentially doing something similar to this guy: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f20/my-custom-po-424754 except with an orange bezel. I LOVE THAT DIAL! It looks so amazing in person!

I'm modding my gen SMP with a PO AR sapphire, Railmaster hands, QoS bezel. I just got a great deal on a coaxial SMP that I'm going to do something with (other than wear). Maybe see if it can fit in the UPO case. Might run into fitment issues...
