Let’s re-lume a set of hands and a sandwich dial so that it’s brighter than a Seiko Prospex diver! In this video, we’ll outline every step involved in the luming process, from getting the ingredients required, to how to prepare the lume compound, and finally to the proper application of the lume compound onto the hands and dials.
We are using our DIY Watch Club Lume Kit with the bulk of the tutorial, but we also used the Bergeon 5680 Luminous Compound Kit to compare their performance. Stay till the end to see how they fare against our kit!
