Obviously just be mindful of the radium.

Any way to improve a dial that is in very poor condition in certain areas

·I think it was exactly the same watch as the Hodinkee one and the Analogue/Shift one. So yes think it had lume. As far as I know IWC don’t have any dial info on these, so no record of how they started life.

·It might also explain the (probably) replacement lumed handset. Either way I think it would more attractive with the lume removed from the numerals, and a non lume handset.
