I love it, but does it have a LE # on the dial?

Is it really white lume? The fake lume appears white in some photos. In any case, the watch would look better, and hold infinitely more enduring appeal, with normal lume.

The watch is nice, they just need to put the Railmaster hands on it, in my opinion...

Looking at it on my work monitor, it seems to have some yellow.

Another ambiguous shot...regardless, this is one watch (admittedly out of my price range even in SS) that the fake patina would keep me away...

It's beautiful. I think Planet Ocean 2500 hands would work best. That blue with a stainless case (and $6k or less MSRP) would make it a must have.
