Relume the dial and hands or replace.
I made the choice to buy the RAF 16610lv dial and hands for mine.
sure, it won't be a mark 1 dial but who cares, it will be the right lume

How much is that in total and which TD?Relume the dial and hands or replace.

You can ask any TD you want, then it's up to them if they want to fix it for you or not.
otherwise you can try M2M
I did that, RAF (dial/hands) for a different build and it was a good choice!Relume the dial and hands or replace.

Shipping to EU from most links shared in this thread is crazy expensive …Please post the links to the spring & washer when you do
found some sellers on eBay, if anyone has experience with them?
thanks in advance
So i rejected this watch because of the super bad date. Now i got QC Pics for the replacement. Sadly, it is still not perfect. But maybe better?I did my homework and studied this thread to be prepared for my QC pics.
So here they are. The minus and plus points that i can see are:
- Date is way too high
- Dial not centered (its too far left)
- Upper right lug looks bad?
+ Almost no lume mismatch
+ Crown looks flush to me
What i can see so far:
- misaligned Bezel (especially at 45min marker)
- dial again not centered
- lower right lug seems to have a big gap
I just want a nice first rep... do you guys think, i can keep this, and if it bugs me too much, replace the Hands and Bezel?
Is the Lug problem fixable from someone in EU?
Watch looks fine dude. You're never getting perfect at 1/30th of the price.Also, the hour hand seems to be super scratched up at the right side.
Perfect reason to Franken, gen dial/hands/insert and you’re set!So i rejected this watch because of the super bad date. Now i got QC Pics for the replacement. Sadly, it is still not perfect. But maybe better?
