2 omegas serviced and relumed

all work done by me :)



first is a prebond , full movement service and relume





secondly a modern 2254.50 . It had suffered water damage in the past and although it was sent to me for a service a year ago the owner did not want the dial repaired . One week later he stops by and says the dial does not glow . Reason ? water damage. So I relumed it :)

Great job. I have always been impressed with how bright the lume is on the 2254.

A quality Lume job is HARD! I experimented on a few old dials and never got it quite right.

I was wondering, - about people's thoughts of having an older Rolex or Tudor re-lumed...to bring back the lume....
...or would that be 'compromising' the originality and 'ageing' of an older piece....!
Wondering what some of you think...???
