Re: spots on Heuer Carrera
In Response To: spots on Heuer Carrera ()

Thank you Mark and Fabrizio for your excellent recommendations! I really appreciate your help!

: Dear friends,

: I really like to follow all your comments and learn from all of you
: in the discussion forum.

: Please let me ask you for your recommendation.

: Some of the fluorescent dots/spots (hourly signs) in the dial of my
: vintage Carrera failed down/ separated from the dial recently.

: What do you think could be the best solution for it?. I took it to
: a very serious and traditional watch store in town and they said
: they cannot place the dots in place as it could be dangerous,
: dots could disintegrate or the glue could not be well placed,
: and a new painting could be somehow refinishing the dial. They
: suggested me to consider sending it to Tag Heuer. At the end I
: asked for taking out the failed spots from the watch and place
: it in a small bag to keep them until I find a solution, and
: remain with the existing dial.

: Besides this, do you think the lack of these dots is seriously
: affecting the value of the watch? What's better, to leave the
: spots that remain in the dial or take all of them out?

: Many thanks and regards!

: Ignasi
