this is an easy fix for V6F/kw watches with the stupidly oversized CP. but IMO not worth it with the 643, actually not worth getting the 643 in the first place. the lume colour is a bit green. you can see better pictures on OP's FS thread:
https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...rai-643-Small-CP-hand-swap-mod!?highlight=643
you can clearly show the difference in the colour of the lume, the colour on the hands are correct as he used different hands (slightly yellowy white), but the lume on the dial is evidently green.
I got the 643 based on overexposed photos showing the lume as more white, but seeing it in person I couldn't accept it and sold it on.

I have ordered a set of hands, but when they arrived I have seen the lume at the hands was totally shit. So I never installed the new hands. [emoji17]

Hi Friend Chris
Maybe you can send it to friend Domi.
You can ask him a refinishing job on the hands.....Is it terrible, can you post pics?

The hand above is the stock KW 643 hand. The hand below is the "superlumed" hand that I have ordered from a aliex seller.
But you can see the size difference off both CP's, at least

Following up on this thread late - is there any later PAM643 V6F lume color that is more gen looking? I ordered the PAM643 V6F today. Now looking to follow up on mod of hands - and by the looks of it the dial lume too :( Though it will be an interesting project if can get it right! :evil:
