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!

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.

Thank you! Another great idea. Looks good! 👍🏻👍🏻
 
Grea6t job. Maybe seal it with some clear nail polish or CA glue to toughen it up
