Old Submariner dial Lume

I wonder if this "cookie" style lume is normal or not...

Its not straight... its like moon surface and a bit sandy






Thanks in advance

The new camera settings are super annoying. It makes taking photos of dials difficult.

You are going to need much better photos to make an informed judgement about your dial.

The text looks strange, like some of the paint has been removed.
Some other dials I've seen look like that, but I haven't seen if there is a known cause.

Thank you all!
Unfortunately - as you correctly pointed out - I'm taking pictures with an iPhone. I thought the camera quality was good enough. Unfortunately wrong thought.
Can someone tell me other sources of comparison on the internet? I only found the -really super designed- page of drsd.

There are many differences, especially on the back of the dials. But sadly no source to confirm/check.

Thanks to all!

Agree on both counts.
