Not very visible, but I think when you get a new watch you're looking at it a little closer than real day to day life. I don't think it would qualify as an 'issue' but I think it can certainly be said that there's a desire for it to be more uniform. I don't like the idea of having a brand new watch opened up and repaired. I think in the realm of percentage it would be around a 3% issue.

I've looked online and seen many rolex's with different lume issues. Some have discolouration, some have dark edges and light in the middle. I guess Lume is one of those things that doesn't behave 100% the same per watch.
