Restoring radium hands "Click" to Login or Register 
posted
I tried searching and couldn't find any info,so I'll just ask. I just bought a nice Illinois wristwatch,and it has wide hands that used to glow in the dark,but now they are just hollow(all the glow material is gone). How can I fill in the space. It doesn't matter if they glow,I just want to be able to see them better.

Thanks Mike,but on their website it reads that dial refinishing is all they do.

Hello, my watchmaker does all sorts of repairs, dial refinishing and hands as well. He repaired a hand for my 1967 Zodiac Seawolf and completley matched the missing section to the old section that still remained. His buisness is called "Pauls Watch and Clock Repair" and his name is Raimond. He works with his father (Paul) with 3 generations of watch repair and knowledge behind him. He is excellent. The best watch repairman I have ever had. Turn around time for a cleaning,repair and refinishing is 2-4 weeks. He is quite good. He is always willing to talk to anyone and is always very helpful and professional. 1-916-483-0207

International Dial has done hands for me also -- with and without dials.
