Re-lume my vintage 5513
I just dropped my 5513 off at my watchmaker to re-lume the dial. Can't stand this nasty brown colour!
 I really want it to glow in the dark! Whadda ya say guys??? The damn thing really looks old and worn out...I thought I'd spice it up a bit and slap an aftermarket red insert, that should liven it up a bit as well... Hmm, now a ruby at the 12 O'Clock marker  That might just be the ticket!It should be ready next Wednesday, I'll post pics when it's back!

You've just ruined a beautiful meters first sub with PERFECT patina. Please for the love of all that is holy tell me this is some kind of sick joke.

 I gotta have some fun here. I am looking for a new insert though, the one this has is actually an 80s replacement, looking for an original preferably faded to install... |
