Finally had some spare time to work on my Punisher watch I managed to grab a duplicate of. I found a great leather watch strap that was made for an Apple watch and today finally got to paint the blood on the skull to match and lumed the eyes on the skull. Now waiting for the paint and lume to cure. I will post some pics after I clean up the eyes and put it in it's case.

Such a tease. I always wanted to put some lume on a few of my watches but with the lack of my watch skills no way I'll be removing the crystal.
The movements are fairly easy to remove there are plenty of vids out there. All you need is some good magnification, a steady hand and good 10/0 and 20/0 brushes. Of course I have a watch movement holder they are cheap. I have another watch on my project list I bought just to repaint. For this project I actually used fingernail polish red and clear. Mixed the lume powder with the clear thinned it out a bit. I have to admit i have been painting all kinds of small items because of all my other hobbies.
 
I was trying to find a Punisher buckle but became impatient and I came across this on Ebay for $7.50 and got it. Looks great on the watch. Now all I have to do is line the eyes out in black and I'll be done!

I'm thinking maybe red might be cool. Or even red lume paint!!!
I got tons of LUME powder I got awhile back Swiss Super LumiNova A and Glo Nation Glow Powder. Both seem to be very good, bright and last about as long as each other. Both happen to be green. Actually I got the two to compare. several years back they were not crazy expensive the Swiss lume I got from a guy in Switzerland I think it cost more to have it shipped than the stuff did. The Glo Nation stuff was recommended by a watch maker I used to converse with online. Not sure how they would mix with clear red. Glo Nation went OOB a while back it's too bad their stuff was very good. Seems like I will have to get more from Techno Glow they are not as cheap as Glo Nation was but seem to have a really good selection of products.
 
I can't remember what brand I got to do this ring and crown but it was super easy. I think glowing eyes on the buckle would be sweet even if not red
