So this is how the rep came as stock;
and here are the steps I took;
Disassembled the bezel assembly first to take a look if I could get at the lume triangle;
Seems that its actually just a painted metal plate...
So scraped it clean.
Next was to disassemble the watch and get at the dial and hands.
I tried mixing my own "black" lume up, but that failed quite miserably, as such, I've just kept it as it is right now, unlumed.
Used Tamiya TS-80 matte spray on the dial then Tamiya flat flat in a very wide spray to get the right shade I wanted and not wash out the words (though a the automatik isn't as clear now though
Anyhow, reassembled and here is the finished product,
With its other Tempus Hour Glass gen counterpart
