Re: New arrival, Siffert - relumed?.

Morning James

Beautiful Watch and think you have done a great job, looks fantastic, will also send you a pic of your old 11063 that I have just had the case refinished on, which looks stunning as well...

: Hi all,

: This might be sacrilege to most but thought i'd share it and get
: some feedback good or bad, i received a lovely Siffert from
: Lanny last monday and so wanted to show it on the friday thread
: but held off until now as i had a job in mind i wanted to
: complete first.

: The watch is lovely, great condition, working flawlessly and i'm so
: chuffed to finally get one of these to try out, the only
: noticeable thing that i thought could better the watch was the
: dead lume. Now i'm all for trying to keep a watch original but
: the lume was truely dead, not in the glowing sense but it had
: dis-coloured to an almost black colour, something i knew had to
: be sorted.

: You'll have to excuse my poor photography skills, they leave a lot
: to be desired but i hope you can still see what work has been
: done....

: Watch as i received it -

: Old lume -

: Old lume removed - got to be real steady here as one slip and a
: scratched dial is not what one wants with their new arrival,
: lol.

: White base coat -

: New lume -

: Glowing - yes as it proberbly would have all those years ago...

:

: I had a colour in mind but after reading Laurents Tag Heuer report
: the other day....well, nothing more to say......Laurents
: stunning Siffert that i used for colour inspiration and
: reference.

:
:

: Don't know if i nailed it colourwise or not but its close and i'm
: chuffed with the results, however i understand if i've broken
: watch collecting rules with regards to originality?.

: Massive thanks goes to Lanny who has been a gent all through the
: deal, doing his utmost to make it happen for me. Can't stop
: smiling, thanks man, its appreciated. ;)

: Also Laurent indirectly, hope you don't mind me using your pic?.

: Please let me know your thoughts chaps,

: James.
