GMT Master II - lume question

[Dedezelic]

Hi everyone. I apologize in advance for this being my first post. I was just gifted by my father a what looks to be a late '90s GMT Master II (Coke) and the second hand has no lume, the "circle" is empty. Is this repairable? Not sure where it went but the watch runs perfect. Thanks in advance!

can be repaired with new lume but it might be cheaper to replace the hand.

Yes, that's a easy fix. Keep in mind that the luminous that has fallen out is somewhere inside the watch and can cause the watch to be less accurate over time. The "dust" that comes from it, will create more damage due to the grinding wear. Rolex movements are so well built that it can take a while for the damage to be apparent. When you are getting the watch serviced, depending on where you get it done, they may even relume the hand at no extra charge.

Thanks for the advice!
