Lume question

[32' Sub]

I have an N series Sub circa 1991.
The lume on the hands and dial is no longer glowing. The "dot" (please tell me the correct term for this) still glows.
If I wanted the dial and hands to glow again, what would my options be?
Repainting the original-
re-dialing-
trade up to a newer Sub-
or should I leave it alone?
What should I expect to pay for any of these options?

Thanks in advance!

. Re-painting is seldom a good option unless you use a top-notch outfit.. They will likely not re-do in tritium but rather in non-radioactive Luminova..

. Re-dialing is an option and Rolex will put in a new Luminova dial with a service for a couple hundred on top of the 600 dollar service charge..

. Trade-up ? Your choice, but I am sure that plenty of folks will be happy with an early Trit dial..

. Leave it alone.. My best option.. There is seldom a time/place where you cannot find a decent light source no matter where you are to see your watch..

the insert dot likely glows because it was replaced at some point in time..

Agree with Larry's 4th bullet - it is best kept original.

I your lume is stable (not flaking off) I'd leave it alone. Many here would pay to have a nice patinaed (is that a word?) lume. The normal lume on a Sub isn't really that great anyway.

Alone and untouched is best. If you REALLY need the glowing in the dark, some guys just swap the hands for replacement Luminovas. Make sure you keep the original ones, in case you want to sell the watch one day, as many a prospective buyer will appreciate the original hands and would pay less for glowing service hands.

By all means, do NOT swap the dial.

Thanks, gentlemen.
I think keeping it original is best. That satisfies my preservation ethic!
