New Hamilton British Mil Gen Inbound -Needs Help

[OldCorvette]

Finally pulled the trigger on a Hamilton W10/ Issued British Mil Watch .. I'd been wanting an understated Mil style to wear on a NATO for some time .. I was considering a Khaki King Day/Date 40mm and this W10 ..

You know the saying .. "Old is gold" ..Patina and old world charm usually trumps new and shiny. Can't go down to the local store and order one of these, or buy a new one anywhere online. I love the simple styling on this one..and the case... and I love the fact that this was issued and worn in service.. very happy .. price was right... trigger applied.

Now for the reason I posted.. besides show and tell.. It needs help.. hands for sure..possibly hour dot lume.. That's a gen Circle T on the dial.. pretty sure it's a real Tritium watch.. 1975 vintage.

I'd like the hands looking better but in concert with the genuine patina .... looking for advice.. please

keep advice budget friendly if possible.

This is the direction I'd like to go on the restoration... not perfect .. well kept/aged

If it were mine, I would either send it to The Zigmeister, or Jack Alexyon @IWW. Jack has done several genuine restorations for me.I would say that The Zigmeister is the master of vintage lume!!
