Luminova Mistake

Hi guys, I'm just new in here...and my fist question is what must I do with a mistake on my "12" luminova on my 3 months old GMT 16710?
there is a little overflow on it and I can see it with naked eyes...do you heard something like that before?

Quite simple if you are not happy with a almost new watch take it back to where you bought if from to get rectified.And afraid with nearly 850000 watches output a year, there will be minor cosmetic faults sometimes.

thank you for your response but in fact the problem is that i think an other mistake can come by fixing the first defect..and it will be worse.

It's up to you to decide how much this defect bothers you, and if it's worth the "risk" of getting it fixed. Although I have heard of problems with such repairs, I have no doubt that if there is a problem when the watch comes back you can push to get it fixed. I would certainly take some photos of the watch before sending it off if you are concerned. In the end there is no real reason why the watch should not be right.

I understand the problem you have, Rolo. I had the same with my former TT Blue YM. So I had the dial completely replaced and later on sold the watch so I could get my current Blue Sub.

One difference there pal. I'm CERTAIN Rolo's watch is genuine.
