Fantastic watch and totally worth the repair. Feel free to elaborate on the re-luming process.

I used a kit. Mix the powder and the base, apply to the back of hands mounted on toothpicks, surface tension holds the lume and stops it bleeding or leaking through the gap. Allow to dry. Easy.
Add a drop of coffee to the mix for 'vintage' look lume, if an older watch. Fresh lume won't look right on a vintage watch.
