Tried my best to show the lumecolor(whats left)!

Looks to me like the lume isn’t missing Hans, it’s just the typical pale green lume often seen on -69’s. That being the case I wouldn’t touch it at all.

Personally I think deep yellow/orange lume on a -69 is a red flag.
Obviously it isn’t quite that simple as there huge variety and the one thing we know about vintage Omega is there’s no one hard and fast rule. But while the -66 CBs for example commonly have beautiful deep yellow lume, my base assumption for -69’s, 71’s is that the lume is usually pale green or very pale yellow.
Again, there are genuine dials from this period with original lume that have aged to the desired deep yellow shade, but they take some finding as they’re less common.
