beetlesblue Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 I have been wearing my APROO over the last weekend, and it was the first time that I've spent a long time outside in the sun with it. Anyway, the numbers have actually gone from a light green colour to a darker green colour due to the exposure to the sun! I have the version with a white dial and light green lettering - it actually looks like I've got grey numbers on my dial now, and I don't really mind it all that much, but just wanted to share it with you. I'm afraid that I don't have a camera with me at the moment to show you the pictures, but thought that it was interesting enough to mention it.

I remember some1 mentioning significant lume discoloration before but it seemed to be an isolated incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's wierd!, I have a Safari that I wore for six weeks straight when I was in Asia last Jan. and it never change color on any parts of the dial. Between the Sun, snorkeling, diving, you name it under the sun that this baby went thru.......and it just kept on ticking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beetlesblue Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Well, maybe it's just the lume that suffers from discolouration then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Yeah unfortunately I read a few of the same comments 8 months ago or so. Must be some kind of cheap rep factory lume issue I think the only solution is to send it to The Zigmeister or vac they both offer relume on this watch and is worth it even if you had no issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donpedro Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 My white themes markers have also become darker green/grey after using the watch outside! Seems like a pretty common issue, atleast with earlier batches. However, I really like the look, looks more "stealth" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
