Many thanks Jeff for your comments!

I'm very happy to be a new member of your community, I really like to learn from all of you. I'm passionate about vintage Carreras, so I love your discussions in the forum.

Thanks again and best wishes for the next year!

: First of all, welcome to our forum. Great to have a new
: participant who has an old Carrera.

: On your question, I agree with the recommendations from Mark and
: Fabrizio -- it's a matter of personal choice and preferences,
: but if you are serious about this watch -- as you appear to be
: -- then you must think long and hard before you allow anyone to
: touch the dial with paint. This can just about destroy the dial,
: if done poorly. So be careful with the selection and
: instructions, if you opt for a re-lume.

: It's odd that I think of the old Monacos as frequently shedding
: their dots, but this seems to occur less frequently with the
: Carreras. Or perhaps it's just that I don't notice them being
: gone. On the Monacos, I have seen good amazing results from a
: skilled watchmaker gluing the dots back on, and even
: "transplanting" dots from a donor dial to a dial being
: restored. I cannot recall seeing this on an early Carrera.

: Good luck with whatever you do, and please let us see the results.
