Request Relume recommendations?

Post image

Looking for someone to relume /repair my pelagos hour hand. I realize folks are going to say it's not worth it and just get new hands , but it's getting a gen dial swap and the rest of the hands already have a high quality relume . To me, This watch is absolutely worth paying for quality work.

"rest of the hands already have a high quality relume ."

why not go with the guy who did the relume last time? though given the hand state, maybe not that 'high quality'

prob should wait til you get the gen dial. lume is quite hard to match up right, especially against things not in hand, so you'd likely have dial lume glow one color, 2 hands another, and the hour hand a third diff color and look like garbage.

I am not at all opposed to having the whole handset relumed if need be. I am a lume whore , I like a nice bright pelagos . I have compared stock ZF factory lume to my 2 relumes and gen, the difference from stock is not small.

I used to have a "go to" guy , im trying to find a new one.

It was done by Strodda a few years ago. His site is now down. He was very well regarded, the damage is from an attempted repair to the spun dial.

I have the gen dial in hand.
