Others have also experienced a change in color over time.
Not everyone has oberved this, and it may be related to usage such as extreme exposure to the sun. My watch, which I purchased in late 1999 has not yet displayed any discoloration, but I have seen examples of the problem at my dealer. The markers can darken to a creamy tan and the tip of the seconds hand fades to white.
I'm wodering if the 'yellow' you see is the same as the 'tan' I've observed.
