Polaris dial
I have the same complaint so I emailed the client services director on the North American JLC website last week...she forwarded my complaint to the Technical Director and asked me to call him...but I haven't had the opportunity to do so. I wonder what the technical director is going to tell me.
I hope that JLC would consider re-issuing another dial that has luminova on the markers to match the functional aspect of the diver's watch. When the lume on the numbers and watch hands are green and the markers are painted a faint yellow, what's the point of making part of the dial appear "vintage" when the whole doesn't match? It would be better to let the luminova on the entire watch develop its own colour and patina with time.
My disappointment was that JLC went through so much effort to reproduce the watch, from the green box, to the plexi crystal, the replacement crystal, the soft rubber band and large tang: with all that attention to detail, why would they release a flawed dial and then re-release a painted non-lume dial when that is so much part of the essential character of the watch? All their pre-release information indicated that the markers, including the alarm markers would be lume. Many of these watches were pre-ordered and purchasers assumed that the delivered watch would match the specs.
The posted shots with the Polaris markers glowing are fantastic and I was hoping that the re-released tribute dials would do the same.
Aside from this rather big detail, I find all other aspects of the watch most pleasing.

Polaris 68 new dial - so frustrated and disappointed
A very valid point
