Stainless steel watch hands with white lume


Recommended Posts

Hi, Does anyone have experience of hands described as having white lume? Specifically the lumed dauphine hands on Cousins. Is the glow colour also white? I asked Cousins but I got a snotty answer that the lume colour was in the description. In my limited experience I have only seen lume glow as green or blue. Thanks, Steve.

I avoid talking to Cousins for anything as they’ll take the time to give a snotty reply, but can’t take the time to answer a genuine question.

To answer you, I got a set of SS dauphine hands from them this week. It is white in colour but glows green.

I have to come to Cousin's defense. I have only communicated with them via emails and they always reply promptly and courteously. 

Regarding the colour of the lume, if you check their website, there is a photo of the lumes glowing in the dark and I think that speaks a thousand words.

Really, I must say that I haven't seen that photo although I've been on the site many times. I will have another look. When I asked them what the glow colour was and they then said the colour is in the description would lead anyone to believe that the glow was white.

Maybe you lucky, or maybe I lack serious communication skills but I've had 2 snotty interactions with them for simply asking a question. Maybe I was just unlucky enough to have the same dude reply and you weren't; guess we'll never know.

Not trying to be a dick, but can you maybe point to the photo? I'm on their site and I'm not seeing it but will freely admit to being blind at times.

These are the hands I bought, might be similar to what OP is referring to?

I guess sometimes when someone has been doing the same job for a long time, they tend to forget that a "genuine question" with an obvious answer is not a "stupid question", and that every customer has to be treated with equal respect. I have to keep reminding myself of that frequently too.

Those are the hands I intend to order but the slightly shorter set. Looking forward to seeing the green glow 🙂

    • I was wondering whether anyone could assist with some questions I have about my latest acquisition, which is a two train ‘Bravingtons Renown’ mantel clock - Pics attached I have done some reading about Bravingtons and believe they sourced movements from various suppliers, so I wondered whether anyone recognises this one. I have stripped and cleaned the movement and the clock is now running well, but there are a couple of dodgy brass springs that I would like to replace. I haven’t found anything suitable searching the internet so I wondered does anyone know of a supplier that might help. Last question is about the veneer on the case, it is generally in reasonable condition but there are a couple of patches on the top where the veneer has lifted. So far, I have tried to reactivate the existing adhesive by heating from below and above with a hair drier, then clamping for a day or two. It has improved slightly but the bulge is still visible. I’d be grateful for any advice if anyone has dealt with this sort of repair before.
    • Hi some pictures o& the movement and case would be appreciated so we can ascertain what the problem is you are having in fitting the movement.   Thank you.
    • Thank you very much,T. I'll try turning the arbour from the clock face end very carefully in case I haven't reassembled the suspension block correctly (I had to make up a suspension spring using remnants of a broken one as I haven't been able to find an exact replacement online).
    • Hi murks a picture of the front as well would help,   By the size of the plate it was stuck to I would suggest a coin cell,  2030,  2015 all depends on the height of the cell. And the space when the back is fitted.         3 volt. 
    • We seem to have gone a bit quiet on this ?  Do we all agree to ask Mark for some input on this matter, or is no-one really bothered.
