Howdy -
I'm not sure of the exact date, but it was early this year that the
Observer started coming with the white face. I'm 99% sure that you cannot have the LCD replaced with a new one, but you might try contacting
Suunto to see if there is any way that it could be done, at (800) 543-9124.
FYI, the upcoming 2004 model
Observer's LCD will now have a green background with black numbers.
