I just want to note that this is something I actually like about my MKII, the original, if dark, lume. I think it matches original dials with slight patina well. I get that some people want their lume to actually illuminate, but I personally prize patina over function when it comes to vintage watch lume.
To the OP, this would make a good daily piece if it's cheap enough, no worry about adding dings or scratches, but if buying more to add to a collection you might prefer to wait. I'm an outlier because I like watches like this, so there's something for everyone thankfully.
