·Good morning all. Just picked up this 1996 Speedmaster Pro ref. 3590.50.00. The watch is in very good condition, but the hour, minute and second hand on the dial are showing some corrosion and degradation of the tritium lume. So my options appear to be:
1. Leave the hands in their current condition;
2. Relume to get the closest possible match to the hour markers; or
3. Remove the hands, put them away for safekeeping, and replace them with superluminova hands.
I’d like to preserve the vintage character and value of the watch, but I’d be less than honest if I said that the present appearance of the hands doesn’t bother me a bit. So, fellow OF members, what say you?
