I received these three Trias Swiss Made, 17 jewel automatic watches back from Kent Parks at Everest Watch Works this week. He sent along day and night pictures of his work. I decided to just do the dots and the hands. The dots were not lumned from the factory and the hands were quite poorly done. So, I had Kent re-do them with Super Luminova C-3.

Very nice relume! The last quote he gave me was soo obscene in price and time frame that for a tiny bit more I could have had 500 dials made the way I wanted, kept the two I needed, and sold the rest myself. Maybe that’s just his way of saying I'm way too busy? Whatever the case it prompted me to do the work my self,  those really turned out well they will make a great bench mark for my own attempts!

I know nothing about app. sup. lum. the only watch makers that I was around had access to original parts. Going to learn now though.

He has done a number of things for me. All first rate. Last edited on Sat May 13th, 2006 12:01 am by mcwright |

The blue is nice, but fades faster than the green. Once the blue "settles" down it is hard for me to see it is blue in the pitch dark. The green on the other hand is stronger to start with and lasts longer overall. It is also just easier to see. Green still rules!

They are all the same model - Trias Automatic Swiss Made Cushion Case Watch #40596 - Except for dial color. I got them from Marc Frankel at Island Watch. I happen to prefer watches with no date function and I love the cushion case. It is very comfortable to wear. I also have the Trias Unitas 6498 in this case.
