I have a German WWII Luftwaffe Wrist Watch Chronograph made by Glasshutte. It had been restored, except for the the hands which need re-luming. Can anybody supply me with names of companies or individuals in the U.S. which can re-lume watch hands and are known to do a good job? Thanks for your help | ||

I can do it if it part of a servicing, otherwise it's probably too much of a hassle as you still either need to take the bezel off or drop out the movement. | ||

Thanks for your reply Zaf. Can you give me any details what servicing entails? Do you think that the watch after reconditoning and repair a few years ago and just sitting around, needs servicing? | ||

If the watch was serviced 2 years ago then you're probably OK for another 2-3 years. As far as servicing we completly take the watch apart, clean evey part, oil & lube as needed and put it back togther and electronically time it for 2-3 days. | ||

If there are no inherent problems with the watch around $400. Hairpspring, balance work or rust can add to the figure. |
