Anyone used LAWW for reluming?

Have a datejust dial that has lost most of its lume dots. Not overly concerned in the drop in value as I'll probably just keep it. Anyone used LAWW for reluming? I know they're well regarded in other aspects of watch repair, but haven't heard to much about the reluming side. Found it interesting that they have a trit option (albeit 2x the price).

yes. I had them relume the hour hand in a ca. 1943 Speedking ref 4220 recently and it came back beautifully executed and matching the minute hand perfectly.
They are outstanding at EVERYTHING they do. Highly recommend.

As others have said, yes, they're the very best at matching hands / re-luming. Here's an example:

Instead of reluming, I humbly suggest you try to track down an NOS or used DJ dial. I bet you can find a really nice one for about the same price LAWW would charge to relume the dial. DJs dials are plentiful in the secondary market and not that expensive.
