Title: diy lume job
Post by: chrisyen on February 10, 2009, 08:32:55 AM: Diy Lume Job
Last week after a CNY gtg with few wacth friend at PJ, I went to Magpies house to try the luminous powder and binder he bought…
I immediately mixed it

And applied it on my modified pvd Seiko none luminous diver’s bezel at 12
Magpies also taken out his em050 bezel original not so bright lume dot… and replaced with the new
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/add%20lume/DSC_0097.jpg)

After seeing the effect I’m so excited… the very first thing I did the next morning…. Is to lume my whole modified pvd Seiko bezel marker
Without proper tool, just paint it with my bare hand… this is the end product in the end
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/add%20lume/DSC_0116.jpg)
But no regret any how…
I also tried on my enzo em001…
But I do not like to have it on all bezel marker except 12… so I removed it immediately… but still cant clean all… this is how it end up…
With lighting
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/add%20lume/DSC_0128.jpg)
Dim
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/add%20lume/DSC_0130.jpg)
Light off, door closed… in a room with red curtain
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/add%20lume/DSC_0131.jpg)

So I tried to asked some 1 for commend
Between this

And this
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/add%20lume/DSC_0135.jpg)
He prefer this obviously
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/add%20lume/DSC_0142.jpg)
See this is his reaction after wearing it a while
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/add%20lume/DSC_0145.jpg)

After all, I touched again and again… I’m satisfied…. Not the end product but the process…

actually all u need is guts!

Buy an affordable diver watch
buy the luminous powder n binder
get a small ceramic bowl to mix the binder n powder
then try to apply it with toothpick, or what ever tool that go easy with ur hand
test it first before u apply
