Issue with bezel insert lume (Noob V5 Sub)

I recently bought a V5 Noob Sub in the replica sales section.

It all looks great but when i charged the lume there is a big difference in the dial and the pearl. Is this common to change over time or has it been changed perhaps? I’m looking for solution to make it match better. All help is good.

Thanks in advance.

I had one of the earlier Noobs which had exactly the same mis-matched lume colours. I don't think it's fading or a replacement, my assumption was it's just a basic error from the factory. A theory backed up by yours having the same mismatch. Unless that is my old one, of course... :)

I had a v5 noob years ago and it's bezel pearl matched the dial and hands. I've only seen mismatches like that in cheaper replicas. As said above, sell it off and get a better quality one.

Ok, might seem like i got a bit hustled in that sell then. Thanks for the answers.

If someone knows where to get a matching pearl it would be great.
