Luming kit - Japan C3 and BGW9 SuperLume (with D03 dial and hands for DWC Diver and Expedition series)
The complete luming kit with a full video step-by-step tutorial for an at-home watch hand and dial luming experience.
After luming the dial and hands, assemble them into your own DIY watch for a watch with one of the strongest lume performance in the market.
Working together with ex-engineers from Tritec and Nemoto, we created this lume kit that is unlike anything you've seen in the market. This kit includes everything you need to achieve the brightest lume possible with the given pigment.
This Japan Superlume kit includes pigments with the Nemoto formula. We've achieved near Swiss-Superluminova X1 performance with these powders, so you should be very pleased with the performance. Watches utilizing the same pigment has also achieved ISO3157 requirements (luminous intensity measured for 12 hours, sufficient intensity for 370+ minutes)
Thinner is not included in the package as we cannot ship dangerous goods. The premixed compound included allows you to mix without thinner, and the kit is fully functional without thinner. But if you want extra performance, you can get your own thinner (specifically lacquer thinner) from local hardware stores or online.
