Flaking lume on hands - opinions sought.
My 16710 went for service at RSC U.K. and they said they wouldn’t do the service without replacing the hands, although weren’t specific about the reasons why. I don’t want the watch to have brand new SL hands and vintage hour plots so I asked them to send it back.
I’ve got it now and have been able to look at the hands and I can see what their point is - there are some cracks in the lume on each of the hands. What would you do, I’d like to keep as much of the originalIty there, but it has to be functional as a watch. Would you have taken up the offer of new hands, would you relume? Leave as is? Is there a way of stabilising them? The rest of the hands look pretty similar to these two. Sorry about the quality, iPhone and a loupe is the best I have! |
