My "new" Seamaster *PIC*

I bought a vintage Seamaster online from a fairly reputable seller. It is from the late 50's/ early 60's, an automatic with date. As I prefer, the watch has no numbers, only hour markers. When the watch arrived, I discovered that each hour marker had a small strip of glow-in-the-dark paint on it, as do the hands. On an otherwise very dressy watch, this looks a little out of place. Can anyone tell me if this characteristic is orginal, and, if not, if it would be possible for a jeweler to remove the paint?
