    Bro.. your mm watch quite nice hor.. I saw the lumes and the hour markers are indeed uneven.. I think it is because they were being hand painted.. How much is a mm watch ah?

    Opps, I mean thinking of changing numeral color. Since the Flight-deck is using a sandwich dial and not painted dial, I hope it is possible. Actually, I also dunno whether can be done or not, I'll just try my luck with Bro Reedsco.
    Some people modify car, some people modify themselves (tattoos etc), I modify watch, haha!
    Anyways, as for serviceing, U-boat using ETA movement, so I think can get it serviced without going back to Bezel, hehe.

    Hmmm...maybe WW2 watch-makers had to produce them swiftly to enter combat? So the lume anyhow apply lah!
    Think I need to get in touch with Bro Reedsco and enquire about luming services. Actually also wondering if places like JW or Tophour can get it done. Guess gotta wait for JW to come back from his long long holiday first : (

    Yeah, I reckon so too. Now that I am a little more free, I better reach out to him to get a quote. Trying not to buy anymore watches for a while, so better do some consolidation/tidying up : )

    I was thinking of getting the lume redone properly and possibly in different color like black, yellow or orange. Green numerals look a little contrived for a military themed watch.


    Bro..Really hor? You mean u own for so long liao never see ur watch one? hahaha

    I thought i saw one watch that got a bad paint job and then i went on and look at another 7-8 watches on display.. then i realised that almost all of had has their lume painted quite badly on the hands.. Like rock tone liao that.. another one even got a valley.. hhaha
