SMP 300 Bezel Imperfection?

Just got my SMP 300 from AD. Just noticed that there are marks/ discoloration or lack of fill on bezel numerals at 50. Is this a manufacturing imperfection? Is this my OCD or worth taking in and inquiring about? Could it be that something rubbed off on the ceramic/ enamel? Appreciates any input. Thanks!

I wouldn't accept that blemish. Take it to the AD. if its a paint defect, you should at least get a bezel replacement if under warranty. Why not push for a replacement watch?

Do you think this is on Omega? I never noticed it in the store. I haven't hit it on anything and I know the bezel is pretty tough to scratch. Could something have rubbed off on it? Seems like that would be a big blemish to pass through QC.

Dumb question but I’m assuming you’ve made sure it isn’t just dirt/residue? Try cleaning it with toothbrush and see if they come out?

I tried a magic eraser and seems like they may have lightened up a bit - tough to tell a difference with naked eye. Still noticeable though. Toothbrush safe to apply decent pressure with?

Yes a toothbrush will be fine to use.
