Nice worn-in look!

Anyone have any ideas on toning down the lume pip?
Thanks.

All updates in.
PS. ralphy, that thing on the left is ... disturbing!
No 113 (not mine) sold yesterday, very quickly, on a French forum sales corner for 500 euros.
This wont be a quality post, as im very limited in time.
Replacing lume dot is a very easy procedure anyone can do:
1) Select the vintage lume syringe here and buy it: http://storecube.com/watchlume/index...&product_id=55
2) practice a little bit, like placing small lume dots on any plastic surface u like.
3) When u feel comfortable everything works fin, remove the existing pip with like a small screwdriver, add a new one.
What I should add:
1) I do not own this watch and just speak from general experience.
2) Im not affiliated / get anything for my recommendation
3) If the colour is not spot on, you may need to purchse a bigger set and have to mix yourself, its very simple. Big set with many colours cost USD 55 as far as I know.
4) the lume dot may shrink when drying, to a less nice form, so one has to apply some more lume etc, to get a really nice pip.
5) the lume is waterresist.

^^^^^^^^^^^Thanks^^^^^^^^^^^
Thats the other option. Maybe even less invasive, as one does not have to destroy the existing lume dot. The colour of the lume I recommended should be a little bit darker/more brown though, and therefore fit better...

If replaced like in my recommendation, the lume dot would not look as perfectly shaped. I would prefer that. Also, it would not have to be raised. I would prefer that too. The only downsides of the PRS-82 are, in my very personal opinion, the white (and too perfectly shaped, plastic-like looking) lume dot and the too long hands. Otherwise a very tempting watch.
Here an example, where I made a custom lume dot with lume from the recommended retailer, in this case a red one (actually nearly everything on this watch is custom, dial, hands, crystal, bezel insert):

Having sold my original 82 to fund a grail, I'm back in the fold again this time with 14050240. This one is running a little slow at the moment (-17 seconds per day) but hoping she'll settle down after a few weeks on the wrist.
Would have been nice to have it with me in Turkey last week, I took my MM300 and it's quite a lump on 40 degree C days - the Precista is so much more comfortable and it's nice to know that Roland used a viton gasket on the case back which should be more resilient to anti-mossie sprays etc.

Number 232 now with me in Budapest. I have had to exercise some patience as I ordered it in June but had it delivered to my parents so that I could collect it during a rare visit to the UK. Worth waiting for!
Sorry guys, just made those last two updates :)
Looks like signatures were yanked in my absence... foo
I guess I have been remiss. I've got #43.

Number 213 being cool in the pool. Resides in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Cheers :)
First post here from a long-time lurker... PRS-82 #140 just reached me today. I am the second owner, but based on how much I love it so far I expect to be the last one. :)
Congrats, and welcome!
Jim
Both updates added - great pic in the pool! :)
I've recently acquired one as part of a deal and must say I'm very impressed and it's getting a lot of wrist time

Update recorded, thanks dietcokeman
Just to keep the list updated, #76 has moved (with me) to Perth, Western Australia. Looking forward to summer and using it as intended.
Sorry, I sent a wrong number (282) 262 is the right one, I urgently need an ophthalmologist.:hurt::icon_biggrin:

No. 44 is no longer mine....................
Thanks, all three updates have been entered.
Number 158 is in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh) after I picked it up from Manxdiver.
Great watch, must get some pics up.
Sorry last thread in wrong place.
i should have added this a while ago
249 here in Tyne Wear..on original rubber sent from TF
Aagh! How do I know what number I have? All I've got is number 14050227 on the case and warranty card!
Edit: Just ploughed through the later posts and found the answer, so I guess I'm the very happy current owner of #227!
Part of that number means May 2014....
No. 83 still mine, but stolen! If it comes up anywhere, a nod and a wink would be most gratefully received.
First post here from a long-time lurker from ... PRS-82 #276 - lovely watch, enjoying some wrist time.
