How long do I have to wait or can I speed up the process?
How can I get a creamy lume without changing the dial or opening the case or waiting another 10 years? I can see the lume changing just a bit so I was wondering how much longer I will have to wait till I can get a nice creamy colour?

I would not recommend speeding up the process by baking a Rolex dial in the oven
Have seen this been done on dials before with great results. Perfect for you no name watch project! Every watch is unique and it almost impossible to say. Have seen loads of vintage pieces with both crisp white dials/hands and with very patinated dials/hands. Both extreme darkness and extreme sunlight, and a lot of other stuff, tend to affect the dial/hands. Try the search function......have read multiple post abut this subject. David

Thanks David, I did ask awhile ago if I could artificially age the dial, but I'm not sure I want to do that. I will search and stop being lazy.
