I need a pair of hands fully relumed in Swiss SuperLuminova BG W9. Simple eh? I’m not the type of person who asks a question without having first tried to find out the answer. I’ve called all my local watch ‘repair’ shops (it seems the majority are only happy to change a battery or a strap, anything else and they send it away to a service centre). I’ve also called a couple of honourably mentioned places further afield. I’ve spoken to a couple of very well regarded individuals (one of whom was very forthcoming but ultimately apologetic) but it seems nobody relumes with BG W9. I then spoke to a guy in Greece (the Relumer). He reckons he’s chocolate, maybe he is, but have I really got to send this pair of hands to Greece to be relumed!? To cover all bases I checked how much it would cost to buy some BG W9. You can’t buy it from a website but it is available on eBay - 1g for just over £100 inc P&P. Unreal. Does anyone know of anyone who can professionally relume my hands with Swiss SuperLuminova BG W9 in the UK? I’m pulling my hair out here! Thanks, Dan
Exactly. Probably one of the best in the business - @Mintyjim you can reach out to him on his Instagram page @thealchemistrelumer. He's done work for me and he is very good.
