The RSC will insist on swapping parts that they find to be unsuitable to the functionality of the watch. I've sent several watches to the Dallas RSC and in two cases, 16800 and 14270, they insisted on swapping out the hands due to microscopic cracks in the lume. And there was no dissuading them. I ended up agreeing and was happy with the results of the 14270 not so much with the new hands on the 16800. I ended up having LA Watch Works color match the new hands' lume to the creamy markers. You'll have to weigh the value of having service papers versus original parts. You can always call them prior to sending in the watch to make sure they'll service your vintage piece and to see what they might swap. In my experience, they've always been very communicative and helpful. Good luck!
