    Hello guys, new to the forum and glad to join it! I purchased a speed master (Apollo 8) 2 days back. Today while I was looking at the time, my eyes went to a spot were I thought it is a fine hair like structure on the dial. After inspection, it appears to be an engraving and not a hair-like structure.

    any owners of this watch have/faced same thing?

    do I have to worry about it?

    here are some photos;

    Appreciate you expert advices

    Regards

    I'm sorry even with the circles I don't know what you mean. How did you even spot something there?

    So these are loose bits moving around above the " lunar surface " dial when turning the watch upside down... ending up on the glass ?

    not a loose or broken pieces. What im trying to point is, this line Mark in my case, could it be due engraving error? cos i compared with other models, and all dont have what mine has.

    Yes, you should worry. I can help. For the modest sum of $250, net to me, I will take that P.O.S. off of your hands and give it the treatment it needs. Send me a PM.
