GMT Matt Dial Degradation

Hi All,

I'm looking at a GMT 16750 with matt dial and am concerned that the lume plots may be degrading (see below esp. the 7 o'clock plot).

In your experience will this discolouring get worse with time?
Would preventative measures be warranted?

Cheers.

Dirty plots happen. Likely some moisture got in the case a while back. Make sure it is sealed. Nice watch. I would be more concerned with the insert.

Hi, thanks for the quick response. When you say 'dirty' do you mean they could be cleaned? If caused by moisture I suspect not.

Insert doesn't worry me - I would be swapping for a Pepsi anyway ;-)
