Yeah, I did notice that on E and X serial numbers. Although mine has a newer bezel insert, so OP’s example is much better. Both dial markers and hands on my E serial no longer glows. Dial markers have patina while the hands are usually lighter but would show some patina in certain lighting conditions. Wondering if it’s a batch issue and if unique to E’s and X’s.
