Looking for recommendations to Re-Lume
I have a 66" 1505 that I wear most days to work, where it gets beat up, runs perfect but the lume is gone and so are my eyes. I'm looking for recommendations of someone who can re-lume the hands and dial. Any help appreciated.

Hi Chris, out of interest post some photos, once you've had the work carried out it will be a good comparison.

Ok, here it is ! Both pictures are afterwards, there wasn't any sense in taking one before hand, all that was visible was parts of the hands and faint spots from markers 6,7,2
