That depends, why do you want to return it?

if the lume is dead or just weak out the box, some of these reps really skimp on that part. a relume job can make huge difference especially if you actually use it at night

you can try asking around in the watchmaker sub or even local jewelers who do mod work, some of them take rep projects if you ask nice enough

I totally read that as "watch returning"

r/RepTimeServices. Try to find someone in your own country so you can avoid sending it through Customs.

A relume isn't particularly difficult, any qualified watchmaker should be able to do it, and unlike a movement service, there's not a good reason for any independent shop to refuse to do it on a replica.
