Help! Lume Problem

Ok so you all know I got my LV a couple of days prior.
Im looking closely at the watch and it seems the lume on the markers on the dial are not totally white. They look a bit sparse on some parts of the markers and a bit smeared. Im not sure if thats normal for the maxi dial on the LV. Maybe im too picky but it shows up way more in real life than in these pics
Let me know if your LV has the same quality.

You can see it very well in the last shot. Its not the darkness other than the shading. But the actual darkness on the lume is real. Its very sparse and seems it was painted on sloppy.

Aadil, you can see some faded areas in your pictures, but its hard to see if they are shawdows or not. My LV does look fairly solid white when you look at the markers, but then when I put it under a halogen light and light them up, I can see what appears to be some blotching. But then it sort of goes away as the Lume fades a little.

Also, if I play around with it, it seems like you can cause some "shadowing". If I turn it to certain angles, I can get it to look "blotchy" or "shodowy".

If you put it under a lamp and look at it, does it still look that way?

Looking closer at the pictures, the shading seems to vary. Just look at the 12o'clock marker. Look at the first picture. That looks almost completly white. Look at the third picture, more then half the marker is white, then look at the last picture, its almost completely shaded.
