RG 44 with office attire or a suit?

protecting the watch case
so after a long research on both forum and web, couldnt find a proper solution to protect watch case from scratches and dings i have seen some posts on ebay offering a silicone like sticker that comes around the bezel and side of the case but nothing solid.its really frustrating me that i cant enjoy the watch because i am too scared to scratch it. esp. after reading that the case thins out after a refinish significantly. any recommendations ?

Lume question
On my Pam 24 the hands are very bright so is the bezel pip. The dial lume is not very bright, weak but still very visible (even with a charge). It is an F series. Does this mean the hands were replaced to luminova and the dial is tritium?It was recently serviced this year.I like the patina and planned on advising service center not to replace it, when it is due service. Input, as always, greatly appreciated.
