Its hard to depict on photo. Definitely more pronounced on hand. Especially under white fluorescent light. i Sigh..had checked the QC, and it was not noticeable at all, until i had it in on hand. Disappointing..

Vsf need to sort this as they are using a cheap mix to lume them. I guess this is why they are not noob or arf status wise!

They got it correct on the cer/ti version. Tis probably because the hour indices on that one has a blue lume color, hence whiter in appearance.

The lume is blue on smp too so that’s not the case. I’m guessing a different maker does the dial on the cer/titanium version. They are not using bgw9 X1 which I’m sure the gen has but even the standard bgw9 is white!

man oh man that white dial is something to behold. I have a sinn 104 white and Bond seamaster 2531.80 gen so I'm fighting between if I should get the grey dial or white dial haha!

I have the newly released Planet Ocean Taichi and it doesnt suffer from the yellowish lume. Could only guess that the lume is being done by different factories. I really wanted to love the seamaster white dial, but the lume is off putting.

So would you buy the white dial or better dont buy it at the moment because of lume color?

Otherwise there arent really any flaws right? Because I will be getting QC in a few days and want to know what to look out for :)

I would not buy the white dial until the lume issue is addressed, in my opinion. Its just too much of an eyesore.
