Tudor Submariner, possible to restore bezel?
Hello, I have a '92 Tudor Submariner 75090 and the blue bezel is faded/scratched quite a bit. I dig the look, but wondering if there's a way to refresh the bezel slightly without repainting or destroying the character.
Thank you! |

Think you are probably right. Maybe just a good rinse and let it be.

Looks amazing! I think looks better and exudes character.

What happened to the lume on that one? Water damage?

I don't think water damage, watch is still running fine. Not sure about the lume, maybe just worn down?
Thanks for the notes, think I will just leave it alone. |

Hello, looks like moisture once entered the watch. Interestingly hands lume have not developed moisture so could be service hands put at the time re-sealing of the case was properly done.
I would also leave the insert the way it is, very original an exhudes character. |

Looks almost like the minute hand sweep (possible from setting it too low) slowly wore away tall parts of the individual lume plots. The 11 and 1 markers especially
