    Sorry but I don't think that is an improvement over the original. :)

    As you are obviously wrong, I will seek opinions that match my own somewhere else!

    Personally, I also prefer the original version.

    It's the black dots that don't look right to me. Perhaps they are not so obvious in reality. Is a different bezel insert an option?

    Just looks like the lume's fallen-out.

    Good way to devalue a fine watch...

    Ha ha! The lume-fallen-out look is just giving it a proper vintage seiko vibe!

    It’s an easy reversal. It’s only a drop of black enamel paint.

    Reminds me of that guy who wanted to paint out the archimede branding on his watch, if you can find that thread it's a hilarious read.

    i.e. NOPE.

    Much cleaner look, job well done. And as you say, you can easily reverse if need be.

    Much cleaner with fewer dots and more readable for me.

    That thread of the Archimede was worth the laugh. Nice one.
