Just got my watch back from James Hyman in the UK (Dreamboat10 on TZ-UK)

Before - with dirty lume plots

Great job I was all most afraid to look at the after photo thinking the patina would be gone but it was not gone :thumbsup:

I keep coming back and drooling over this EZM1.....then I reconsider selling my 1.1. These are so cool.

Did you send it to Sinn for a new capsule and gas fill? I know that here in the USA RGM will do capsule & gas for less than $200

I know it was relumed, but I missed if he had it refilled with gas after the lume job.

No. I accept that the gas is gone, but it was only serviced last year.

James is superb.. he's one of the (if not the best) best relumers in the business, and a top bloke too. He also does crystals/gaskets etc. He has worked on dozens of my watches over the years.

One of the stand-out jobs he did for me was this...
I had a Tudor Snowflake that had amazing patina on the hands, but the lume on the dial had been cleaned off. I sent it too him.. and he matched the lume colour and texture. The original hands hardly glowed at all, he even matched that too on the dial..
