Awesome Hand Re-Lume Job by RolliWorks

I posted about this in their main thread but want to also ensure they get more visibility. Can't say enough good things about Mike and the team at RolliWorks. They do awesome work, are super professional/knowledgeable, and just fantastic to deal with!

Here are a couple b4/after photos of the hands re-lume job that they did for my Tudor Date+Day.

Before


After

That's clean!

I've done it a few times and it takes a lot of practice to get it right, respect

Looks good. What exactly is the material used for the new lume? And can they match the color to the dial hour plots?

I'd be interested to see what it looks like under UV light.
