And that of course is our very own @GuyJ of Rexworthy Watches !
I've had a number of re-lumes of various vintage Seiko dials by a number of talented watch repair experts and always been happy, but due to the sterling reputation that Guy Jeffrey of Rexworthy Watches enjoys, I have always wanted to add one his masterpieces to my collection of re-lumed watch dials. Guy has rebuilt several movements for me including a few 62MAS's (including the only one I still have) but until now I never had the pleasure to own of his re-birthed dials.
So I sent him this photo of a dial that came in on a 6105-8110 RESIST that I picked up as a non-runner in need of a lot of TLC. Upon asking if he could take this dial on, Guy mentioned he had a new blend of lume that mimics the patina'd cream color in that family of hues that Daini watches have all faded to over time. He said I could be the first to try it. As soon as he said he was looking for a test case dial to restore, I knew right then I just HAD TO GET ME SOME OF THIS STUFF
So he worked it over and this is the result pre-casing:
And now to the Wristies !!!!!
Look at that night lume shot !
With that a HUGE Thank You to Guy @ Rexworthy Watches for his patience and expertise in bringing this one back to phenomenal condition !
