Congrats, it looks very sharp!!!
Some say that by wearing it and giving it some 'rays' (sunlight) the lume will turn a lighter colour....I think there may be some truth in that statement as I've been wearing my 1655 for the past few weeks and it looks noticably lighter in patina. The bezel serrations look very crisp and the case is in good order too. always nice when the patina of the hands match the dial  Only one thing left to do, "Wear it well!"
