a luminova dial on a vintage is a no no

In Response To: My 105.003 & a question for the dial specialists ()

Not only does it kill the value of the watch but it is rather more the definition of an amateurish restoration rather than a true restoration. Restoration means putting the dial in its initial condition and not changing it by a luminova dial, something Omega never does with speedmaster /seamster 300 radium/tritium dials. I know some people who restore tritium and radium dials perfectly. Better buying something in pristine all original condition than something in average condition.
