Unfortunately, the dial has been partially re-lumed; You may have noticed that the luminous dots at 1 and 7 are much lighter than the other hour markers.
Story Time: When I had this watch serviced for the first time, the watchmaker apparently fiddled with the dial posts, god knows why, causing some of the lume to fall off. This was the last straw for me in regards to New York city watchmakers after years of mediocre work from them, and I have since forsaken the use of their services. But I digress. The watch was subsequently sent to a trustworthy watchmaker because it wasn't functioning properly, but for some reason he re-lumed the missing 1 and 7 markers when I had asked him not to. Not a huge deal since the rest of the dial is in an un-refinished, original state, but the re-lume job could have been done better IMO. Despite all of this, I've learned to love this watch for what it is and accepting the watch's "imperfections" serves as a small step in overcoming my OCD

Sorry about your experience. Who do you recommend, er not recommend in the NYC area. I am in NYC and need some work done and don't know who I can reliably take my vintage pieces to...
