Different shade in BLNR?

Have not had the opportunity to wear my new BLNR out side of my home, hence the stickers still being on it.

So today as I admire my new purchase I see that the center of the triangle is darker or the edges are lighter however you want to see it.

Not sure if you can see it clearly in these pictures, kind of hard to capture. Curious if any other BLNR owners noticed this or if it's just mine.

Thank you very much. Put my mind at ease simply because I was curious. I was keeping it as is anyway, kinda felt unique thinking I had a faulty rolex product.

I thought this was an optical illusion, whereby the edges of the triangle look brighter due to the contrast with the black.

We'll it came from me staring at and admiring the BLNR. I can only wear it on weekends considering I work in construction. Just took off all the stickers since I'm off tomorrow and my first opportunity to take her out into the wild.
