Just put mine in the oven and as can be seen above tones the pip down to a similar yellow to the aged Lume!Originally Posted by barryw

Thats the other option. Maybe even less invasive, as one does not have to destroy the existing lume dot. The colour of the lume I recommended should be a little bit darker/more brown though, and therefore fit better...
If replaced like in my recommendation, the lume dot would not look as perfectly shaped. I would prefer that. Also, it would not have to be raised. I would prefer that too. The only downsides of the PRS-82 are, in my very personal opinion, the white (and too perfectly shaped, plastic-like looking) lume dot and the too long hands. Otherwise a very tempting watch.
Here an example, where I made a custom lume dot with lume from the recommended retailer, in this case a red one (actually nearly everything on this watch is custom, dial, hands, crystal, bezel insert):
Best
