·Hello! I just purchased a Speedmaster Date for my son for his 21st birthday. It's a reference number 323.30.40.40.06.001. I purchased the watch from a reputable dealer in Japan (Watchnian). I was told the watch was serviced last month prior to them listing it for sale and it essentially looks brand new. When I look at the dial with a loupe, though, each of the hour indices has a hairline scratch running across it, all of which appear to be an equal distance up from the tip. It seems as if they may have occurred when the indices were placed on the dial since they're all uniform.
Also, the hands have a few very faint hairline scratches and a couple spots on the edges that appear a little rough. All of these are extremely minor and only visible with the loupe. I could see the scratches occurring during a service, maybe even the small rough spots, too.
When I look through a loupe at the hands and hour markers on my Seamsater 300M (which has not yet been serviced), they are flawless. So, I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions on whether my son's Speedmaster might not be authentic.
