Old Tudor, new hands

I had a Tudor Submariner that I got in 1990 serviced at RSC in Dallas. They replaced the crystal and the hands. The lum in the original second hand had fallen out and was just bouncing about the face of the watch. Anyway, the new hands are luminova and the rest of the lum is trit. How does this change the value of the watch from a collectors point of view? regardless of the change in value due to the hand replacement, I will testify that when you send a watch in, you are getting your four to five hundred dollars worth. I have some before pics on another computer and will post some before and after pics when I get an opportunity. I beat the crap out of that watch from 1990 until 2004 when I got a rolex sub, and it came back looking brand new.

To bad they changed the hands. It will affect the value to some degree if you sell.

it will definitely affect the value..most collectors will not want a mix matched dial/hand set and you could loose about 500 or more off your sale..
but your in luck,the original tritium hands are fairly common as I get sets in pretty regularly..so when your ready to sell just buy an original set..no biggie
