    Would a new dial be a possibility?

    Good idea N. In cases like this I figure that unless the watch and dial in question is daftly rare and very far gone, it's best if you can find a new old stock dial, rather than reluming/redailing. Keeps it original. I've had this very dilemma a couple of times and in one case I left it well alone and in the other I had to go for a redial. The latter was too far gone, nigh on impossible to find a NOS or even halfway decent dial and the original had more radiation coming from it than Chernobyl on a bad day. Plus as a family piece "value" wasn't ever going to be an issue.

    I'd be keeping an eye on the Bay for a dial. They do come up

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    If you do go down the re-luming route then a chap on TZ-UK called dreamboat10 is very highly regarded. I have no personal experience, though.
