·There’s a 2-step solution to this issue, well established here on OF.
1) put away the loupe/macro lens
2) enjoy your awesome mass-produced Swatch-brand watch.
Omega rules. It’s not Patek.

··Hears dead people, not watch rotors.If it's not noticeable with human eyes, I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy your watch.

Well, to be fair, there's a chance these marks will reflect light slightly differently off the polished hands. If that is the case it would drive me batty. If I couldn't see it- I doubt it would bother me though.

··Omega Qualified Watchmakerlooks like bad service handling …
These polished hands can be infuriating. They pick up marks at the drop of a hat, and smudges, like you see on the seconds hand above, are quite difficult to remove. This is one of the reasons Omega just replace hands at every service.

When the light shines across the second hand, you can see them but only in really specific scenarios. Now that I have noticed them, I can't unsee them 😀

·Looks like handling marks from a service. Even with a used watch from an authorized dealer you should go over every detail of the watch. There will always be handling marks on the outside, but damage like that to the dial, hands or markers should result in a steep discount. In my case, I would have walked away at this. Because, unlike some people, I don't put way the loupe.

·G gr4zOnly just noticed it to be honest. It comes with a 2 yr guarantee so could take it in for them to sort.
I would definitely try this; it's worth mentioning how Omega handles the polished hands to avoid exactly this scenario. Once you've seen something like that.... you can't unsee it.

·You will NEVER see it in real world settings
Close up macro is the only way and how often do you do that. Consider it a DNA tag/identifier for your watch (jk). Just have Omega change it or clean it during service

·Macro seems to be the double edge sword here.
Even Pateks' and what not will suffer some degree of macro?
