Lume Bubbles on SubC
Im not too OCD about things on my watches however I noticed something a few days ago on my SUBC and I am more curious then bothered to know whether this is something most/all SubC's have or mine is just a fluke.
When shining a flashlight (works best with a LED) sideways, as if you were trying to read the serial number on the inside ring of dial, I noticed that each lume marker has what appears to be a tiny bubble in the center of each marker. They are all the same size, same location and only noticeable when a flashlight is shined sideways on them. If i shine a light directly on the markers they are invisible. Is this something anyone else notices or just me? I would take a photo but it's hard to capture. |

Never saw bubbles but sometimes dimples as if the lume dried in center faster than edges.
And only saw it under loupe which nobody else would do... Is that what you saw?

Dimples or bubble, hard to tell the difference. It's basically a single bump/imperfection that is only visible with certain lighting and at a certain angle. I wouldn't be surprised if they all had this because it seemed to consistent on each marker to be a mishap, it almost looks like an application process result.
