·Had a similar situation with my Titane Automatic Chronometer. From my limited observations, the lume formulation in these dot style hour markers seems to go inert well before the hands.
Unless you find a specialist to take on a relume of the existing dial, the best option may be a replacement dial if still available.
In my case, the replacement dial cost was north of £375+vat. Unsurprisingly I decided to stick with the inactive hour markers

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI would personally replace the dial as the red markers around the perimeter are faded, as well as all the red tipped hands.

·I think it may cost more than its worth to change the dial markers. Why buy a watch your are not 'completely' happy with?

For a 2196.20 - early 1990s 😉
Not to my tastes, but if the OP likes it, wear it in good health 👍

·Its a beast none the less but the planet ocean chronograph version gold on gold is around 315grams and the heaviest one I saw so far is the Royal oak offshore chronograph gold on gold from Audemars Piguet , its around 335grams (getting very close to a pound).

Heavy. That’s almost like wearing a Ploprof.

·Local AD sent it off to Omega as they couldn't work on it
just to note it had to go back as when it was returned there was a problem with the watch it stopped apparently a screw came loose in the movement
yes I got all the parts back
