·@Banner Roar - beautiful watch. Three something about the later dials with candlestick hands that's looks so appealing. Great catch.
Is this too nice to be all original...SM300

·@Banner Roar looks great now
Was the original minute hand filled with non-luminous paint?

·Wanted to use the original hands but the minute had lost all lume. Asked Simon to match to the hour hand.
Here is a before with replacement hands along side my WatchCo.
and after with the original hour hand and the minute relumed not sure what composition he used.

·If he reused the original minute hand he appears to have done a great job in matching the colour. After exposing the dial to light, am I correct in assuming the lume on the minute hand continues to shine long after the hour hand stops glowing?

·Yes I think Simon sure did a great job matching the colour. The shine is longer.

·I assume he used superluminova or equivalent. When I had some hands refilled, I was given a choice by the watchmaker of using compound that was luminous or non-luminous.

·Not sure of the composition only asked to match colour for aesthetics not looking to make it impossible to tell the difference. For now just enjoying it.
