I may just be paranoid, but is the dial discoloration towards the top something I should worry about?
Thanks

Take a few pics of it in different lighting. I see what you're talking about but hard to judge from one photo. Maybe also give a bit more backstory about the watch...

You won’t be able to see it in the other pics. Just bought it used from crown and caliber and I need to make sure everything is alright before I take that sticker off

I definitely see it. Maybe be in touch with them about it?? When in doubt...

Yes in some lighting

Edited my earlier post to reflect your new picture. Again, be in touch with them about it. I wouldn't want that on my Speedy...

I’d definitely return it if you paid market price.

I see it, and it would drive me bonkers. I would definitely try and return it, not to mention you could probably get a much better example here on the forums and undoubtedly at a better price.

I don’t know if I could get one for 1200😉 (that’s thanks to a good deal I found on a PO that I traded). Although I’m cheating a bit with those numbers. I’m not sure I could get a speedmaster for 2500, which is in theory what I paid for it. I think they said they will try to find me another

It is defective, and if from a dealer it should have been pointed out to you before sale.

If they did not, I would return it for a full refund and never talk to them again as they cannot be trusted to look after a customer.

Unforgivable, unless there is something missing to the story

Maybe, maybe not. However I would rather spend a couple extra hundred dollars from a forum member for a clean example and not have to deal with the predicament you are now in.

Maybe the mods would be willing to let you make a WTB thread despite not meeting the 200 post count - I don't know if exceptions have been granted in the past, but I remember another forum member mentioning something along these lines.

Pass - you have the option to return with the sticker on.

The dial's been touched up. You can see the blotching and uneven coating all over the sub-dials.

You can find better.

Definitely returning this one. I’ll see what crown and caliber do to make it right, if anything. For now, I’ll sleep on it
