No idea on the cost to re-lume. But, most of those and 14060's are going on 30+ years old. If you're really worried about seeing time at night, opt for something newer. Same with the bezel. I'm of the school of thought that it picked up a quarter of a century of stories. It would be a shame to make it look brand new. Besides, if you replaced it, it would look 'off' from the bracelet condition and overall feel of the piece.

How about a luminova service dial? Get a dial replacement from an independent watchmaker and keep the original.
