Is relumed dial worth buying?

[MrLemon]

Hello friends

My question is the title.
I know relume dial devalues the watch, sometimes make the dial ugly
But if at a reasonable price, are they worth buying?

if the dial is impossible to get or too expensive , you may have no other option. Otherwise, I wouldn't

This.

There are thousands of relumed dials out there. A good one, you won't likely be able to tell.

If it's a bad job, then everybody can see it. If the watch is worth it then a propre relume can bring it back to life and make it serviceable for many more years.

Devalue is overused. If the watch is a high dollar example, then bad lume of any type devalues it - if it is an extremely rare example, then there is much more leeway on what devalues it or not.

Some context would help, about why you are buying a dial.

Are you just buying to stock up on dials just in case? As an investment? Or do you have a watch needing that specific dial, and you can't find a fully original dial?

pretty unappealing watch IMO.

There artificially aged insert looks bad (I havent even bother checking if its legit yet)...

The dial also seems to be bubbling which is fairly rare for the MF variant. I have seen so many nice MF 5513 dials, this is a thumbs down

That '64 is not great, the 12 especially.....A nice gilt 64 dial alone is worth about £7-8k, this dial about £1k. I'd pass on it unless you are effectively getting the dial for free i.e. watch is £5k or so....

Who even does good relume jobs on genuine dials in the USA?
