The dial on my Fighters (A13330) appears a bit off-colour. I mean the white is not quite white and the black is not that black. It looks like an older watch (patina) but it really isn't that old (approx ten years). I suppose it looks slightly green/yellow.
It is because the crystal is mineral and not sapphire? Does the mineral crystal have a colour to it?

Thoughts?

Very hard to comment without seeing it but crystals are clear other than the slight blue tint caused by the AR coating when looked at from certain angles. There are occasional circumstances that can cause the dial to discolour over time but they are very rare.

The colour doesn't really come out in a photo, it just looks normal. It is quite subtle really.
It is not really "bad". I would say it just looks like 20-30 year old piece rather than a 10 year old watch.
