Hi all,



Having a go at reluming the dial on this Orient 200m Diver..







The dial as I started..







With the lume removed..







Lume on, waiting for it to dry..







Building up the lume slowly..







and a shot to give a bit of an idea about lume colour..







Cheers

Wow.. That's an impressive DIY project! All lumens are hand applied? What sorts of tools did you used?

Hand applied using Noctilumina lume.. Applied with a watch oiler tool.. Unfortunately, Noctilumina will now not ship outside the USA and Canada..

Good job Tony!

The triangle marker must be the hardest!

How does the lume material stick to the metal markers?

The lume material is in a binder that is like epoxy glue..

Reluming of the hands hasn't been as successful so far..







Have another old set that I am working on..







But also tossing up whether to use one of these other sets..







Ideally, I would like to get hold of a new set of original hands..

Re: Orient 200m Diver Relume.. project
The overall result so far.. Fitted the second set of hands that I relumed.. These ones have a bit more 'corrosion' than the other set but will do for now..
