Try not to be too disheartened and keep your eye on eBay: the last one sold
(in Mint+++ condition) for several hundred dollars but it beats throwing the
dotless lens away. If Leica deigned to take on such an intricate procedure
it is the kind of extensive repair job that would have to be sent back to
Solms for half a year or so...;{)
The big question is whether the old timer who applied these red dots to
early Noctiluces has retired or not. The modern substitute is mere plastic
whilst the original you have so carelessly lost was made of a rare
radioactive resin now only available for military applications.
Good luck hunting for the dot!
