[QUOTE=Atomic]I agree too. I have seen some pre-V Panerais with the lume totally patinaed to an amber and while it looks interesting, the contrast of bright white on a black dial looks so much better. Further, it means it should still be functional.

I don't see the point in having a watch with unreadable lume. Daren had this issue with his vintage GMT in the middle of last year.


I'm in the minority then as I disagree! I love the look of cream/ yellowed markers and hands, that have aged evenly - especially on Subs, SDs and GMTs. I doubt if I would ever buy a vintage Rolex that had the markers/hands white as to me, the whole point of getting a vintage watch is that it looks vintage.
