ach, thats a bit of a pain... re-luming's not exactly difficult (though matching the colour of the "patina" lume isn't altogether straightforward), but it's a PITA with it being a Valjoux 7750 in there, because getting the flyback chrono hand back exactly in place afterwards, and on tight enough to cope with the stresses of the flyback motion without slipping - classic thing to see on older Valjoux 7750's is the Sweep Second Chrono hand being at 57,58s when at rest because it's gradually slipped backwards over the years.

I had the misaligned centre seconds with a previous Valjoux 7750, so although this watch (and the chrono in particular) is rarely used, I try to reset by returning the hand almost to 12 before zeroing to avoid it. This particular watch is one of the later RLT8 model with the fully signed rotor (as opposed to just initialled). The missing lume has been removed from the watch by the way (didn't want it getting into that beautiful movement!).
