| I know a few of you have used Everest Watchworks (Kent Parks) to relume some of your watches. I noticed that we do not have any reference to his site, so I wanted to make sure that we have it listed here at XMT. The site has some nice examples of his work, so go check it out!! http://www.everestwatchworks.com/ If you have any pictures of his work, please feel free to share it!Here is axcerpt from his 2009 Pricelist... Everest Watchworks Information and Prices Jan 2009: Relume charges are as follows: $74.00 and up: for reluming the dial with Super-LumiNova * $38.00 to strip and relume the hands with your choice of Super-LumiNova * $44.00 for GMT Hand Set w/ choice of Super-LumiNova $25.00 extra for premium glossy lume on re-lume. $35.00 extra for reluming some chronographs $25.00 water testing to 165’ $65.00 min. shop charge * please read Super-LumiNova choices below. Shipping and handling charges: Continental United States......$7.50 plus insurance, 35.00 to most other courntries Insurance ......................$2.50 for first 100.00 $1.00 for each additi.$1.00 We can take deposits with PayPal at : kparks@everestwatchworks.comThe "luminous value" of the different colors of superluminova varies. Here is the list of the lumes we offer and how they compare to each other. From most luminous to least luminous Super-LumiNova 1.

Bright yellow 6. Gold (Everest blend of colors) 7. C1/C3 blend (This is a blend, a 3:1 mix of C1 white: C3 light green) Its boosts the lume value of white and keeps the daylight color mostly white 8.

| Kent relumed the hands and dial on my Seiko Bullhead about three years ago. FANTASTIC WORK! I can't wait to get it back from Bob Thayer Jr. after the remaining mechanical and cosmetic restoration is completed. He's had it about a month now, but I'm in no hurry. |

For sure, look close at the orange dial out in the sun, i took that shot to show how clean his work looks when not glowing! Think Sean is racing his car this weekend but he has had kent lume some high-end stuff, sure when he see's the thread he can show some great lume shots! |

I'm sure he would do a great job on the lume, but wouldn't you be worried about the seals and COSC rating afterward? ____________________________________ | |

| You can give him a call alan, he is a nice man and would answer your questions! I went crazy about lume but it was a faze and pretty much just happy with stock lume whether its good or bad! Kobold sucks but it sucks the same all night, some start brite but fade to nothing in a hurry! Im going to try to do some lume but first off is a sandwich dial and it will be almost impossible to screw it up! i hope..... |

| Alan,
For sure the seals would be an issue. However, COSC has nothing to do with the cased watch itself and applies ONLY to the movement. So, that aspect of the watch would remain unchanged by any work done to the watch. |

The only issue would be the warranty...assuming there is still come time left...if not, go for it!!! ____________________________________ M A R K
