Based on your photo I don't see anything that looks abnormal. I would ask the seller to stick the watch under a light bulb for a few seconds, though, just to make sure that HE can see the luminova start to glow. It's good that he's trying to be honest with you and tell you that the luminova is weak, but, as I said, I think it's just a matter of needing a "recharge".
I must say, however, that there is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE in how the luminova is applied to the dial of a two tone watch vs. an all stainless model. The dial is the same...what you are paying extra for is the 18 karat gold. As the dials are the same, so is the luminova and its method of application. This is one area where your seller is clearly misinformed.
This is a very nice looking watch. Good luck with your decision.
P.S. You are aware that this is a quartz movement, not an automatic, right?
