How can 1 tell if the illum is defective? What are the signs?

If the sticks illum is illuminating less brighter than the dots (for the GMT2c) does that mean is defective?

hard to tell like that cos depends on the light distribution on the dial.

use a big spot light that can cover the whole watch's dial and shine on it to fully charge it. after that, take a look and see the lume is how.

Thanks bro, yestested illuminated evenly

Inspected the illum using 5x and 10x loupe. No physcial defect.

I think is due to the STICK illum no retaining the light as long as the dots.

BTW this applies to the TT GMT2c, suspect becuase the stick is in yellow gold border and "bottom/base" plate of the stick is yellow gold?

I checked the SS GMT2C dun have this problem.

And for some reason the Explorer 2 (WH) illum is ultra bright and green with min torch shining. Likely specially treated for cave peoeple use?
