SubC pearl turning yellow?
Has anyone here with an early version SubC experienced that the pearl on the ceramic bezel are starting to turn slight yellow? I think the pearl on my 2013 Hulk has started to turn a little yellow, so i was wondering if the pearl should be clear white like indexes on the dial, or a little off-white? Do you have pictures of your early SubC?
As a result of the lock down, is this just something i imagine??    Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Try using soap and water to see if it cleans up?

Already tried that. The thing is that i cant remember how it used to look like. Is this how it should be, or have the color changed? For the record: i bought this new from AD in 2013. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

All the so called pearl is just a blob of luminous paint covered by a clear sapphire dome cover try giving it a wash in soap and water.

My guess would be some kind of condensation between the chromalight and glass. There should be no patina on chromalight and/or luminova

It is either dirty (clean it) or patina (don't sweat it). Watches are menat to be worn and patina is a sign of a watch well worn. If you are worried about it I am sure that RSC can swap it out for you for a price and a long wait.
