Any experience with Horoluma?
Ive tried contacting him twice through his website over the last few weeks but no reply yet. Is he not accepting new work?
I was told he was out of town this week. I'm not sure if he is accepting new work or not though. I have just sent him a dial and hands, so I can tell you more in a couple of months hopefully!

My mistake, I meant to say I’ve tried contacting Alchemist relumer twice.

I’ve never had an issue with James’ comms. He has always relied very quickly when I’ve spoken to him.
I find instagram dm is best

Do you know which country Horoluma is based in ?
I am looking for someone in the UK to re-lume missing Tritium markers.

I know James is in the UK and he’s one of the best in the business so I’d contact James.

No matter how many pieces you replace it will never be an original watch. I would save your money and just wear and enjoy it, as you planned.

This.

True, but regarding the enjoying it part, if you (the OP) will enjoy it more by reluming it and replacing the service parts, then I'd say go for it, especially since you like rescuing things! And it sounds like you are more certain about replacing the service parts anyways, just less certain about the relume. So like Dan S said, if there's no lume currently, a relume won't decrease the value.

I cannot get an answer sadly. Maybe away
