to fix the band problem just buy another band and fit it
as to the hands , I'm afraid that it will not be worth the cost to have the hands re painted with luminous paint
I love watches. My collection: Breitling Colt, Bulova Accutron, and a few others. Yours is no slouch either. I believe it's around $2500. and the band is special, very special. It is made from ceramic and can not be replaced with any other band except for the one it came with. That being the case, if you are going to pay that much for your watch you should expect some quality service from the maker in regards to things like this. So before you do anything else give them a call and ask them if they have any recommendations about cleaning it.
If you get a response some thing like "No problem just send us a blank check and the watch and we will fix it right up, Honest" tell them to get ben........never mind. Just hang up. Their # 1-888-455-9200 If you are going to try and clean it you need to understand just how hard ceramic is. I have ceramic tool cutters almost as hard as diamond cutters so it will take some patients. The first thing I would try is to let the band soak in bleach. You might be surprised at how well that works. Let it soak awhile. The longer the better
The best thing is to find a polish made specifically for ceramic. I would try a auto paint supply store. They should have good quality polish for ceramic clear coats. It may also be a good idea to get a piece of white ceramic cutting plate/board and test a spot. I would also use a small Dremel polishing wheel. Dremel also makes a soft polishing stone that you mith want to try depending on how bad the stains are.
Remember a ceramic cutter board is a cheap way to test before you try anything on the band. I really hope something here helps. Let me know if you need any other help and please let me know of any success or failure and I'll try and give additional assistance.
If your watch band have UV sensitive pigmentation in it, there is nothing you can do, but buy the new band. Find your nearest jeweller and ask to clean watch band in ultrasonic cleaner for 1 hour. If this kind of cleaning doesn't help, that means your watch band is UV sensitive and is and will be discolouring more and more by the time. Alternatively you can try to clean it with the lighter fluid (ZIPPO). Soak a soft cloth in to lighter fluid and clean the band. Start with a small area inside band to make sure the fluid is not reacting as dissolver, as some resins react quite vigorously and tend to transform into chewing gum sort of state. And again- if this cleaning doesn't help, the band is UV sensitive and discolouring is taking place. That discolouring is happening becouse some of the colour pigments used in resin manufacture are sensitive to ultraviolet light and when exposed to sunlight or daylight, they react in a chemical way, changing molecular structure, wich we see as the colour change.This process can not be reversed and this is why the band can not be cleaned. Do not forget to rate please.
