And if the new dial is truly "NOS" its likely doesn't glow any more either. If it's a luminova dial of more recent manufacture, swapping it out would destroy the originality in my opinion. If you must have glowing lume, a watch of more modern manufacture is a much better option IMHO.
Opening this particular case is a tremendous headache. Between that and the potential for damage to the dial and hands when removing and reinstalling, it's a job best left to a pro, but any worthwhile watchmaker should be able to do it easily.

Q on Speedmaster 125 Dial Change
By: MonkeyMagic8 : June 27th, 2008-22:35
Hi, I just bought a new Speedmaster 125 Dial NOS. I am going to swap out the old dail on my Speedmaster 125 with this NOS dial. I would like to know, whether it is a hard job to change the dial on this watch or is it best to send the watch back to Bienne ...
the original dial looks nice to me....

Hi MonkeyMagic8 The watch looks great . Why would you want to swap out that dial ? Any watchmaker worth his salt should be able to swap the dial out for you. But again I would not open this watch.... Good Hunting Bill Sohne
