Clean Submariner 126610 Luminous Pearl (Pip).

[MrBrock]

Happy Easter to everyone.

OK...... About 6 months ago, I placed an order for a Clean Submariner 126610.
I rejected the first offering due to a date alignment issue.
I approved the second lot of QC photos... All good.
The watch arrived a week or two later, and I noticed that the Luminous Pearl above the 12 o'clock marker (some call it a pip) has a grey-tone finish rather than white.
Is this typical of all Clean Submariners, or have I been scammed?
I'm presuming the Rolex original pearl is white?
The attached photos show the original approved QC pic, the inside photo and outside photo.
It seems worse inside.
Any feedback or thoughts would be appreciated..... Many thanks.

Looks okay to me. Nothing too different from what I have been seeing

No need to worry that's real Clean. 6R9 serial beginning and has the marker indicator flaw of Clean 41mm.

The grey tone could be because of the lume being activated in different lighting conditions or it just got dirty. Hard to say but it will fluctuation with lighting condition.

If it bothers you swap it out with a gen pip although idk where to get one. And I doubt it will be much difference.

Does it glow blue or green in the dark?

It's real clean nothing to worry about. Lume color probably slightly off due to factory QC variance. Enjoy the watch.
