Looks great! Good job with the relume! The only thing that bothered me was the lum on the hands looked a bit jagged and unnatural

Great Job and very nice watch you have there! As Lelouch already mentioned, the minute hand look a bit harsh, but this maybe amplified by the picture.

When you say RE-lume, do you mean that this U-Boat Rep comes with some lume from factory?

Well, after receiving my PVD CF Flightdeck 50mm, I have to apologize to you regarding the comments I made about the hands. The factory finish is like sand paper, so the result with lume cannot be better than that.

My watch has lume on the numerals, but not on the hand.... In the dark, I can tell if I'm wearing my watch, but I can't tell what time is it! :D

I was wondering if dipping the hand in an epoxy / lume solution could be doable? that would put a thicker and even coating.

The original from rep factory is no lume on hands and week lume on dial , that's why the owner asked me to relume it .
The lume has to be apply on hands , so the result is what you saw . It's much better than before , and hope you all like it ?
