Dude since I have one that is correct I am just going to get this service dial refinished to old style print Good idea, much cheaper and it will at least look good till you can find a proper dial one day.

Go easy on me. This is my first relume. Looks much better than the babysh*t green color they were before. Tritium turns green when exposed to moisture. If you see plots or hands that are green then the watch has fogged up at one point in it's life. Otherwise I would have never scraped the original lume from the hands.

It looks real good Roscoe, I think you did a fantastic job, it looks much better than it did. I really don't think you need to do anything else, it looks fabulous just as it is and if its just a daily wear even better. Hell, if I were you I'd be wearing that Red a bit more.

Thanks Steve. I have two Reds now but I don't wear them very much.
I have started setting my bezel to a minute that corresponds to the day of the month.
So in a sense I have a date feature on my non date watches and I really prefer the non date Rolex dive watches.
Today's the 25 so my bezel insert is set to the 25minute marker.
Every once and a while I dig out the other watches but I hope to find a nice gilt 5513 from 1965 or 1966 at the Miami show.
That is really what I am craving right now.
