I am trying to find information on repairing a vintage watch dial.

Is it possible to repair a dial that has had only a few of the luminous numbers/paint flake off, or will it require an entire redial?

I appreciate whatever information you might be able to give.

Thanks!

If it is just the luminous, yes, it is entirely possible. A skilled person will even color match it to thbe existing luminous.
