Augusta Lume Material

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I purchased some pre-mixed lume over the internet, and the seller sent a different brand then the one that I asked for and that I usually get. The one that I received is Augusta Labor, which I know is supposed to be good. However when I opened the bottle it's basically solid. Does anyone know if you are supposed to mix the lume with water first?

The German one that I usually get is ready to use out of the bottle.

The Augusta us unusable in this state. I've attached a photo. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Did you try emailing the seller and asking how you're supposed to use it?

Interesting searching online reveals that comes in white and black and it's a paint. Maybe yours has gone bad? I would think if you're supposed to mix it with water it would have more of a powdery consistency if it's already hard then I'm still going go with its gone  bad contact the seller and let him know that it doesn't function as expected see what happens let us know.

So I followed up with the seller and he said the wholesaler had sold him a "new" formula and he didn't know anything about it.. He did give me a refund. I have tried adding a number of different mixtures to the lume to try to get it usable but with no luck. Still have no idea what happened to it, if it's meant for something else or if it somehow went bad. Weird.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
