Please note that I used Auto Levels of
Photoshop to enhance the showing of this little defect. You will not notice this
defect also in the darkest night if looking at the freshly charged luminous
paint. But that is why they call us watch IDIOT savants. We always seem to look
at the watches just to find and remember the defects rather then leisurely
enjoying them. When I first found this missing piece of lume, I was of course
disappointed. But having been living in Thailand for more then 10 years has also
improved my capability of dealing with imperfections and so I can honestly say,
it does not bother me today anymore and I am barely remembering it when enjoying
to wear my AT.
If you feel really good and enthusiastic about your watches, then I suggest you
do this: pull out your strongest loupe, a stereoscope or your children's biology
microscope, that will bring you down to earth like a T-10 parachute, or in other
words, quite fast with a bump!
