They were actually cone shaped rounded total piece of shit to lume!! Lol I was using microscopic droplets of lume on my black handle oiler. But it really came out great!! I'm a bit proud of this one! It looks great with the silver sunburst dial.

Well done, watch looks amazing now!! Had it and let it go for this reason alone, now thinking to get it back and maybe sent it over to some modder if he can pull this off.. Amazing piece wear in good health!

Thank you! :) the lume alone made me fall in love! It was shitty to lume since the indicies were not made to hold lume like some are.. They are just little metal numbers painted blue by the factory. Some come with bucket style numbers that are sunken in the middle with a lip around the edge to capture overspill these little suckers didn't have that. From pics I thought it did.. But no!

Indeed bro you made quite an amazing job! I was checking now my old pics and thinking about how you managed to do it because of this, quite some effort needed I am sure but look now on the result! I will ask if anyone can take care of it like you did

Thank you! :) the key is a perfect mixture so the lume doesn't run but also isn't like paste. It has to have some flow chararacteristics but not too much. It was a fun project. It is the coolest looking lumed watch I own as of now and I only own watches with lume. It's something with the blue and silver dial. I need to do the hands but I was tired.. I have the flu. I want to do the same but on the Rodium grey dial next.
