[TUTORIAL] Beautification of White Tony Special OMEGA Ploprof and easy modding
Hey all,
When I am already in PROLOF spree serial MODDING why not give a small touch up for the White TONY special ploppy as well ?
Some easy and small mods, maybe great to test your skills
For this tutorial we will use Omega Ploprof White TONY SPECIAL 21J movement watch and we will do following
- FULL RELUME with BG-W9 color superluminova (only hands and dial indexes, as bezel insert has white paint painted, and don’t know to what depth and don’t want to mess this up, as no replacement will be provided)
- Removing white paint from hands to give silver look like gen
- Regulate movement within COSC limits
- Fix deployment slipping issue
So lets see our watch
Not bad, but white hands is not gen like, and as well, I am lumewhore, and I LOVE LUME,s o I will relume it in progress
Gen watch for reference
So lets again disassembly our beauty.
Here you can see the construction of the ploprofs, as you can freely replace the movement for ETA, all you need is only stem, hands and that is all Here is also small hint for you to remove the STEM, there is small button so hold the crown and take it out and gently push the button. Before that align hands for easy removal.
Remove holding screws that hold movement with the case
Now lets remove hands
Remove dial from the movement ring
Put white hands to the acetone, and remove the lume from orange hand with ear cotton buds filled with acetone. Watch out not to take off the orange color.
Now from bottom side of the dial remove the glue that holds indexes and push them out with pin.
Soak the indexes into acetone for 24 hours and then prepare them for relume with hands. Relume then after that and keep dry for 24 hours again
Assemble them back to the dial ! Fix the indexes with small drop of GS hypo cement, and also fix them from other side as well with the GS hypo cement.
Assemble the dial to the movement and put back hands
GLOOOOWS SUPER NICE !
Now lets regulate the movement.
To better times !
Assemble back to the case.
You can grease the orings in the process, just in case
Our watch GLOWS SUPERLLY now !! happy
Now just fix that slipping micro adjustment ! Here is simple fix I did, just glue some metal part that will push the deployment and will not contact the micro adjustment part.
And final wrist shot
Thanks for watching, hope you like it !
