I certainly get the gist of what you're saying, still there are many examples of sought after, vintage Rolex sports watches that have less than perfect (original) lume. [Coincidentally, just look at the 5513 from HQ Milton, posted above]. Likewise, there are lots of examples to be found of vintage Speedmasters with intact, nicely patina'd (original) lume.
