Another acquisition besides the Skyland. To tell you the truth, I like this one much more than the bulky, heavy and thick Skyland. I am still playing with manual focus on the camera. It won't take lume pictures on Auto mode.

There you go:

Taka that looks fantastic! I put a band on the one I am trying to sell and I think it made me want to keep it. :D

Are you going to have a stab at the bezel dot?

poke thru it from underneath. Be really careful it's made of glass. Then clean the lume off using solvent. Wait till all lume came off, dry it. epoxy back the glass, then start luming from underneath hole :) excess epoxy can be buffed out later using capecod.

Nice job! I didn't know you could re-lume the Bezel Pearl, that's now on my list of things to do.

If you can, you may want to replace the rehaut ring with a black one (like the Gen). I got mine from Ruby. It's a pretty easy swap and it gets you one step closer to perfection. Actually, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be black or graphite, but I can tell you that black looks fantastic.

This is mine after the rehaut swap:

The pearl was relumed yesterday. Have yet to take pictures but it glows much better now. Yes, you can relume it too ;)

PS: I would keep a lookout on gen dial and won't be willing to pay premium for that. I believe gen dial should not cost more than 200USD for this model (this is without defect, sealed).

Nice watch, I've got the same only in graphite and consider it my best rep at the moment. Now just remove that datewheel and give it to me!!! :p
