Lume color on newer 116613?

Hey guys, so I recently purchased a V8xxxxx serial sub with black dial and noticed that the markers and arrows glow green and thought they should be blue? I did a search and could only find similar talks in regards to the stainless sub with people saying 'as long as it glows it's ok' which seems like a bad answer to me. Should I take it to rolex office or is this normal for my serial sub?

Thanks.

I have a 116613LB TT blue SubC and my lume seems to be blue when you charge it up in the light but in the dark seems more green. Doesn't really bother me really as i just love the watch blue or green lume.

Same here. At first I thought I was going crazy but my sub c definitely changes from blue to green depending on the circumstances.

Should be lume on top. It's more aqua than blue. The bottom lume is green from my GMTIIc.
