    Can you please post a lume shot of your watch?

    I have seen people online complaining that their bezel's insert pip is of blue lume instead of green like the minute's hand is. This is probably a defect... Anyone have the problem and contacted their AD or Omega? What did they say?

    I seem to have the problem too... Not the best of lume shots but you can clearly see the pip is blue and not the same shade as the minute's hand lume...

    You think Omega would refund or replace? I wouldn't accept a major part replacement on a 2 month old watch.

    I had an issue with a new deville that I’d bought for my wife. It was 2 months old. They gave me a new watch. If they tried to replace your bezel, I’d fight it.

    What are you using to charge the lume?
    If it's uv then perhaps try a led torch.

    I saw a post this morning on a FB Seamaster group where the guy has the same issue.

    Yea we are probably talking about the same post, i checked mine after reading that! I was just wondering if people on this forum have the same problem. I also feel bad because i don't want to spoil it for people who are happy with their new watch!

    My pip doesn't really light up that well. Here's activation with an LED flash. I think mines blue but I don't really care .

    I don’t get a good shot with my phone but mine is green.

    I have the black one. Maybe it has to do with that?

    Mine is green.
    But I don’t get your point: surely it’s another Limited Edition, the “Seamaster Blue Pip”.
    Its value is growing in the future for collectors!

    It should be green but if you don't care that's great for you, honestly!

    If anything I'm disappointed in Omega's QC if indeed these are errors.

    My minute hand is green and the pip is blue. Not sure of what error is being referenced. Everything should be blue except for the minute hand. Here is a photo of my LE.
