Relume this 1944 Military Omega?

Hello,

I'm quite new to the vintage watch game, and have been reading a lot about redials & relumes, crown replacements etc that are considered as the taboos of the watch world.

Which brings me to this beauty.

It's a 1944 calibre 30SCT1. The dial has been refinished after the war (date unknown), the crown seems to be a replacement, but the hands are original according to the seller. I love wearing this watch in daylight but at night it's nearly unusable because of the faded big hand.

So my question is pretty straightforward: would it make sense to relume both hands (and perhaps even replace the crown with someone more era-fitting)? I've already contacted James Hyman, which would be my way to go, but I'm a bit worried the value will deteriorate if the watch keeps getting retouched.

Thanks a lot.

Well, given the fact the dial has been redone, I don't see any issues with having it relumed.

Go for it. It won't affect value anymore and I think it will look great with hands with matching lume 👍
