Thoughts.....

Hi Sandra,

Hope you are well, sorry for the delay in joining the discussion, its been a hectic weekend :)

You are correct in thinking that doing anything to the FL on the right with the radium lume will not improve the dial damage.

I have to say it looks great as-is, the colour has aged wonderfully, i would only suggest a relume on watches when it is absolutely necessary, my criteria for that would be blackened lume, (which in my opinion never looks good) thankfully neither of those two lovely pieces suffer from.

I'd suggest just living with the dial as-is unless your fear is it may deteriorate more over time?, if so then sell it on and keep the one on the left.

Great spot by Mark on the radium as well, i did'nt notice it until he pointed it out.

Sorry i cannot be more helpful, all the best,

James.
