    Greetings members. Anyone have a recommendation for someone who is skilled at restoring lume (with tritium if possible) and paint on vintage hands and attempt to match them with the dial? Prefer someone in the US.

    I realize you are looking for someone US based, but I wanted to share work that @photo500 (Adam is in Aus) did for me a few years back. The hands are super luminova, and he made them match my dial. He also diminished the lume brightness and glow.

    I hear James Hyman out of the UK is quite skilled btw. Would like to know if there's his equivalent in the US.
