DRSD - Restored back to Fat Font Bezal Insert

Following the advice of several forunites, I have had the service replacement thin font bezal insert with luminous pearl (dot or pip if you prefer) replaced by an old and slightly faded mark 3 fat font insert. I had the non lumious tritium pearl fitted by a professional watchmaker this morning.

The next stage, if there was to be one was the consideration of changing the plexi glass for a T39 superdome. It was decided that it would be unwise to do this as most glasses up for sale are not genuine Rolex pieces and removing the watch from the case could risk damage to the dial. The watchmaker and a very well respected vintage Rolex expert both advised me to leave the glass as is. The watch is still under warranty following a 2013 service by Rolex and that would also be jepordised.

I only seem to be able to post one image, so here is the before:
