That's not Rolex suggesting the dial needs replacing , that's them saying it's a necessary part .
We come across this regularly and I can see it from both sides.
Client wants to retain originality , Rolex want to do a job that they can give the same warranty on as when it was new ( if not a better warranty than new 2 years on a 32 year old watch) and they obviously feel a dial with flaking lume risks movement contamination and therefore cant give said warranty.

Opinions please. While typing this it feels like I should know clearly what the answer is but because this watch has huge sentimental value my thoughts are a little off on this.
1988 Air King 5700. Dial lume and hand lume is powdering badly.
Have got a quote from Rolex for a full service and they have suggested replacing the dial, hands and bracelet clasp) with new ones.
I'd be mad to replace the dial, right?
