Yet another 2531.80 thread

Hi all
New to the forum and trying to navigate my first vintage acquisition, targeting a 2531.80 as my second omega (first is the 311.32.40.30.01.00)
I finally managed to find a '93 piece that is not sold out of Japan but the dial has significantly darker stains on the lume than I expected
Some threads indicate that it is related to maybe a moister environment and that tritium is bound to darken but it still feels like a bit much compared to other '93 or '94 watches I've seen for sale.
I was hoping for advice on whether this is acceptable or too damaging over the longer term. See below the C24 shots and the one I took in person (in particular upper part of the dial and 7pm).
Any views welcome!
Thanks all

What’s wrong with buying a watch from
Japan?

lume color preference is subjective. Depends what you find acceptable. That being said, this looks like lume rot from moisture damage and I would expect this to have a negative hit on the value.

Thanks. Nothing against Japan supply ! Just means import taxes, shipping expenses, sometimes VAT issues. For once I was happy to see one directly in person.

I personally don’t care for the lume. I’d pass for a better example. Price is always a big factor too…

Thanks. Asking price is 3.3k€ which is also why I'm questioning to be honest.
