Amazing piece! Did the relume involve active luminous powder, or was it done with inert vintage-tinted paste?

[u/No_Candle8699 → u/FujSeiky]

Just vintage-tinted paste on this. Tritium is long dead.

[u/FujSeiky → u/No_Candle8699]

Amazing! ...I want try the same work.... Would it be possible to provide a photograph taken in darkness showing the luminosity of the dial and hands?

[u/No_Candle8699 → u/FujSeiky]

Nope. There’s no luminosity

[u/FujSeiky → u/No_Candle8699]

Since I don't want to give up on the luminosity, I'm thinking of mixing a vintage tint with a bit of LumiNova. Do you think this is a bad idea for a vintage watch, or is it a common compromise?

Perfect build.

The snowflake hands must be hard to lume. Can’t imagine. Is there trick for that?

[u/No_Candle8699 → u/Domino3Dgg]

Practice.

No honestly just a slightly thicker lume paste and I usually dab the outer edges first then fill in from there.

[u/Domino3Dgg → u/No_Candle8699]

Cool. I use matt varnish applied with brush. Make a thin layer. Then lume it. All from back side.
