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 🙂

      First Project Already A Bit "Sideways"

      By Waggy · Posted

      Here is another option, if you have the patience to sort through the parts you usually find 50-100 screws as well as some other cool stuff. Most times I get an order from these guys I get a 250g box, takes a few days, but end up with hundreds of spares and all you need is for one of them to be useful and it pays for itself. Also helps hone your tweezer skills!

      Can you soften the squeeze on a tweezer?

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      As Hector said they have too much  tension, that tension is also fixed and not easy to control. Conventional tweezers have infinitely variable grip provided by us.

      Thank you and i appreciate that, it looks very different    Thank you sir but i think there is a little problem according to that reading it's because it is far different to the other move that i serviced, i will atouched the photo. They are different movements but this one is 7s26b movement and they are also different in shape when it comes to the ballance assmebly. Thanks also for the concerned i appreciate that.

      Donor movement showed up, so I stole the bridge screw from it. Which made me sad, because it's in such nice shape! It seems a shame. Maybe I'll find a use for it one of these days. Unfortunately, the stem is for a different style of case and is much too short. Fortunately, I ordered a brand new stem from McCaw Company. Unfortunately, the crown on the donor movement is thoroughly stripped out (it unscrewed in a shower of brass) so i just put the old stem back in for now until I source a new crown. As you can see, it's just a little too long for this case. Overall I'm super pleased. I didn't think I'd like the bracelet, and even that is growing on me.   Anyone have a favorite crown assortment?

      Vertex Dirty Dozen crystal

      A couple of pictures of the front… Sorry, I’m months away from this one, but…there is an edge to the bezel but I see no obvious signs of previous bezel removal and it is quite thick so it would be difficult to grab an edge on the crystal with a crystal lift. It does look like in/out thru the back…good luck…
