I was sent a Rolex Submariner reference 6205 which was a recent pickup for one omy regular cusomters. It is a lovely example with great patina but the hor and minute hand had seen an unforutnate re-lume at some point during its life. The harsh green wasn't in keeping with the look of the beige lume plots that had developed on the dial. So, a re-lume more in-keeping with the dial was in order. The watch also received a complete overhaul.
With the crystal removed we can get a better idea of the hands compared to the dial.
I mix my propriatary luminous blend and get to work. The result can be seen below. Much closer to the dial now.
Here we can see it installed in the case. Whilst a re-lume is never going to be as desriable as an original, a bad re-lume job can always be made better and result in a very close match to the original.
