Added to that post modification pressure testing is crucial or there goes the 200m water resistance. However, it must be mentioned some modification to personal tastes, can ultimately devalue the watch, you are unlikely to get back most of investment of aftermarket parts, if you chose to sell the watch. Overall a good, informative beginners write up, thank you. You must also keep in mind that there are a lot of different patterns and/or textures of dial available. The color of the dial is only one of the variables you're going to have to choose. If you're interested, read my '' Best Watch Lume article'', to see all your options. Going this route allows you to choose the lume brand, color, and thickness. This is a bit harder to do, but it is much more rewarding. The second option you have is to buy a lumeless dial and apply your own lume mixture.

First, you can buy a new dial that is already lume-coated, such as the Namoki Mods dials, which are coated with a nice layer of Super-Luminova application, which is one of the best luminous phosphorescent in the industry (usually found on high-end brands such as Breitling or Omega). You have 2 options to remedy this problem. This OEM lume is known throughout the watch world as one of the best in its class, so this can be a bit of a bummer. When you buy a new dial, you will inevitably lose the luminous phosphorescent that's applied by Seiko from the factory. Inside coating is a bit less effective, but you won't have to worry about scratches. If you choose exterior coating, you should know that there will be a very thin film on top of your crystal, which will be easy to scratch.
You can either apply AR to the inside of the glass, outside of the glass or both. Conversely, sapphire is quite reflective, so getting an AR coat might be a good idea as it will help a lot with legibility under different lightings.
It is pretty rare to find AR-coated acrylic crystal since the material already has an anti-reflective property in-and-of-itself. Since it takes more resources to make than a normal crystal, you will certainly have to pay a premium for this feature. Most acrylic crystals will be domed, while sapphire crystals are offered in flat or domed configurations.Īnti-reflective coating is a feature that is almost exclusively found on high-end watches. Also, it can make the watch harder to slide under your cuffs if you're wearing a tight dress shirt. Domed crystals come with a few drawbacks, such as being easier to scratch because they protrude from the case.
