Hi. Just purchased a 300m and was having a closer look at it when I noticed a dial imperfection in the lettering.
As this was a preowned piece, I took the watch to a preowned luxury watch dealer for authentication. They had a look at the watch and box + papers and confirmed there is no issue with the piece and it is authentic. Which is why I was surprised to notice the lettering defect while taking some close up pictures of the dial a day after purchase.
Any thoughts?

Well, Adding to my previous reply!

-Was the watch Serviced before ( by you or previous owner ) ?
-was there any issue with the dial that got fixed and made this issue without notice from service center?
-is the watch still under warranty?

Honestly, I didn’t see it until I saw the third image which is really blown up. It’s very easy to miss without magnification — which is why it slipped past quality control. If it bothers you, try to get it replaced under warranty.

Clear production defect; have it replaced during warranty.

If it's a pre-owned piece your solution is to send it back and get your money back. This isn't noticeable under normal conditions with the naked eye, it's visible at very high magnification and lots of things are 'wrong' once you start blowing it up.
