IS there a 'Factor 50', for watch faces?

UV-A/B resistant Crystal perhaps?

Since you have two i would leave the one he gave you alone. Adds character to it. It can only be original once lol.

A lot of zombie threads lately. I like it - we get to read threads about the actual watches again.

Great sun-faded dial, I love it like that!

Wow, those are matte dials to begin with now it looks really flat and more of a grey. I'd leave it.

There's no way I would change a thing if my dad gave it to me and the "wear and tear" is from him. Plus, it just looks cool

....oops, just realized this thread is years old, LOL
