I’m not sure what seamaster @Rheide has but this is terrible advise for a 60’s seamaster 300. Please do not consider having the dial replaced.
If this watch is simply an addition to a collection, I agree with ya. I was aware it is a “60’s era piece. My thought was putting it back to an original state. That was my “If you can” statement, meaning find it and afford it, I would do it. I know it’s tough to find an original dial, but they’re out there for $$$$. Hands and a dial….tall order. I’ve always been of the mindset that my OMEGA is a tool/instrument to be used as designed. I don’t see the point of an OMEGA, or any luxury brand, that doesn’t show the time clearly in the dark. I don’t collect, so any suggestion comes from that “working watch” perspective. Should have been clearer with that! 😉

I know James H uses a particular ‘fast fade’ compound for reluming that glows for 5-10 secs after being illuminated by light so mimics old tritium.

James will be seeing my hands to work on. Cheers for your input here @Davidt

I agree @Fallout Boy , the soft green is lovely. Here's my SM60 along side it's partner the SM120 that is missing its bezel PIP
