Random serial sub c - Green lume?
I have a new random serial sub c 114060 but the lume appears to be green and not the new blue chromalite, should I be concerned?

Have you noticed it after taking out in sunlight versus LED charging? I also have that model and I noticed a Aqua-marine color under LED light while natural sunlight gave a much darker blue

Not tried sunlight, only LED but I'm sure the lume is green...

Take it out into sunlight for a few hours and see if you notice a difference, I did with mine

I would imagine it's possible since the randoms came out a little before the G serials were first seen, both in 2010. When Rolex made the lume switch both serials then went to the Chromalight. It's also entirely possible both colors were being shipped at the same time until they ran out of the dials with green lume.
But whether it's green or blue, why would there be any cause for concern unless you strongly prefer one over the other?

I just got myself a g serial sub and I seem to have the green lume also. I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Any one know why this is and if it's normal.

Not overly concerned about it however just surprised if it is green lume on a random serial sub c, given how popular the model is, I wouldn't expect it to sitting at the AD for long..loving the sub though
