Very interesting Dan, a large price comparison indeed. Anyone have pics to compare ?
I think Lukas in Germany is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Look up Horoluma on Instagram or horoluma.com I think he’s around $550 but you can email them photos to get a closer estimate

Wow. This is a fantastic tip. His website is very cool, with the ability to see before and after photos. [https://horoluma.com/dial-restoration/].
The after photos not only look better, they retain the feel of the original. It's what I image an art restoration would do with a painting. The restored dials don't look like they are brand new, just repaired to their best potential.
This is a very helpful resource. I don't own a watch needing restoration but am considering a watch that has a nice case and really nice bezel, but lost lume. (I usually am okay with dirty lume, but when lume that is worn away completely, there is no internal struggle on whether or not to relume.) I'm more excited about the watch after seeing what Lukas can do. It's currently overpriced but if we can agree on a fair price then this gives me the confidence to proceed.
Thanks again.
