Luminous Dot Went on a Search to Find Itself? 🙃

[4thdimension]

Well, nuts. I looked at my 8926OB, and discovered that the bezel’s luminous dot at the 12 o’clock position is now missing. Where might I find a replacement dot, and is it easy to replace?
As always, I appreciate the kindness and expertise of this great group. Thank you!

Thank you, Mike!

You are very welcome. Good luck. If all else fails you could replace the insert.

Ok here goes, I’ll tell you my story. I had a tough time finding the right size pip. So I ordered a luminous watch paint kit like this one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/301576300414

After I mixed a little bit of the powder an lume with a tooth pick I noticed I had mixed it into a little ball. I then used said toothpick and gently filled the hole with it, and it came out super nice. I let the paste dry and voila I had a lume pip.

Grea6t job. Maybe seal it with some clear nail polish or CA glue to toughen it up
