It's certainly "exposed" to the possibility of physical abrasions,.... AND you can't get any more "humid" than a trip in the ocean or lake!

So what gives on the the long term prospects of this small dome of lume holding up, given it's exposed location? I can't see a coating of lacquer overcoming the listed deficiencies.

It has been over 3 years since this model has come out, and many more of the previous versions of the Submariners and Deep Sea Models,....

......has anyone had a problem with this lume area of their bezel?

If not,...perhaps Rolex fits a small dome sapphire cover over the lume paint in this area??? Just wondering......
I believe the pearl is fully encased, not a drop of lume on the insert.
