First, there is nothing wrong with a proper re-lume.

However, a sloppy job can destroy your satisfaction and render a gorgeous example horrendous.

You do have to take what comes with a re-lume.

. It is not as valuable as an original lume dial, if that is important to you.

. It may cost more than a proper service dial, which will have working lume.

. A rare/collectible dial with a relume can drop it's worth by thousands, therefore the watch value drops as well.

Lastly, a damaged dial with missing or broken lume that is difficult to find can be enhanced with new lume. A trashed dial isn't valuable to anybody.
