Am I tripping or my j12 bezel is turning yellow?

[mnvo11]

Hi everyone, I just bought a white 33mm from fashionphile and it just arrived today. I’ve been eyeing this watch for SO LONG but I can’t afford retail [emoji21] my sister in law has one with diamond markings, mine is just black numbers. For some reason I feel like her bezel is like stark white while mine is turning milky yellow. can someone let me know if I’m tripping or should I return it? I bought it for under 2k and the band still looks very white with minimal scratches. Thanks a lot in advance!

Looks as white as fondant icing to me. (Which is about as white as you can get)

It looks as white as snow no yellowing from what I can see

I’m not seeing it but it bothers you so I’d return.

I don't see yellow. Congrats!!

It does look a little yellow in the first two pictures, not the last one thought.. might just be in the different lightings you look at it

Compared to your sister n laws diamond dial j12, I do see that your bezel is a creamy color and hers is a stark white.

It looks white to me, maybe her's just looks a little clearer bc of the diamonds adding some more sparkle to it? Only keep it if you love it! I do find when I get a watch the number colors / style do play a part in what the background looks like.

Return it

The one with diamond is whiter

Yes, hers looks whiter and your looks slightly creamier. If it really bothers you return it. I think its gorgeous and you should just enjoy that beauty!

I don't see a difference, but return it if it bothers you!

thanks everyone for your input! I took it to the watch guy who services my sister in law’s and her husband’s to get his opinion. He said he doesn’t see the yellowing at all and maybe I’m just staring at it too much (lol). He said the air moisture and a lot of other factors can affect the ceramics, but the watch is in great condition with minimal wear and for the price I got it for ($1.7k), he doesn’t think I can get a better deal than that. I opened the watch in my office which has yellow lights and it does look slightly creamier , but under sunlight there was barely a difference. However I’m really falling in love with it and its in SUCH a great condition with next to no wear at all, so I think I’m keeping it. Thanks again everyone!
