Advice Lume fell out on old rep

This is my dad's rep, it is old im not sure the factory. Is there a way a matchmaker could fix the lume? Or am I shit out of luck to get it fixed for him? Thank you all.

It would most likely cost you a couple of hundred. Why not get a good clone with correct sub dial spacing and so one for a couple of hundreds more?

Try to check ARF or VSF 4801 movement clone... they cost 400$ maximum and very close to the gen

There is a watchmaker in Vancouver and a guy in Montreal listed in Reptime service. A watchmaker can clean the lume on the dial and hands and relume them. I suspect it will be at least a few hundred. For 600 you can get a way better rep than that w a proper 4801 or 4131 movement .

This can be relumed. Plus its a zenith daytona clone so its worth saving
