My 1st Rolex!
The pix are from saler, but its on my wrist now. Got it here,Sub. 14060 E.There is no lume on hands/dial, any suggestions to solve that. I saw a web-sight that relumes, but is that a good idea?

What is a "saler"?

Congrats she is beautiful, I hope you get to enjoy it for many years to come. Like others have said do not relume, when you get it serviced just have them put on new hands for you.

Lovely piece, what a great way to start off this hobby!

Leave the dial as is, or as others said send it to Rolex Service Center
