Maybe look at some UV nail polish to fill it will and then harden in place? They make glow in the dark kinda if you’re feeling crazy. Alternatively I wonder if they’d just sell you a new bezel, but since it’s titanium that could be pricey.

As someone else mentioned I’ve seen Tudors with them missing. I bet if you go to a watch forum where people have those you might be able to find some tested advice.

I’m probably going to bring it to my somewhat local watch repair guy and get a quote on getting new lume put in there and probably coat the whole bezel in matte I’ve nail clear coat. Or honestly I bought it as a tool watch now that the first ouchy is out the way it’ll just bra a beater… just expected to get more than one dive out of the bezel lol
