16800 lume comes unstuck
Lucky this caught my eye before it had a chance to enter the date wheel.
The lume from the second hand has come unstuck. I've heard of lume stabilisation. Could anyone direct me as to where I could find this service in Sydney? |

Once triangle lume on my old Gmt fell out. Of course the sec hand trapped it against the hour hand and she grinded down to a halt. Lol I was pissed. I like hands w no lume in them. Just get that piece out and wear it as she is. It's s gem of a watch man.
Like this the dial It looks like a roulette wheel and the ball stopped at 845! |

Hey George, do the other plots look okay? You may be able to get someone to just open it up and remove the broken bit of lume. Or were you hoping they could stick it back on?

Have the hands redone to match the color of indices on the dial. Try to keep it as original as possible IMO.

You could try Max Schweizer Swiss Watch Services.
He has a Rolex account and is an old school watch maker. He stabilised my hands on my 5513. |

I was hoping to get the second hand lume stuck back on. Hands match dial plots and seem original to watch. Thanks all for your help. |
