    Hey @jordn! What are the signs of a water damaged dial? The dark map-like blotches?

    Each example is different, but the overall washed-out look is always a sign that an abundance of moisture penetrated the case for me. It could be that someone tried to clean the dial, but since the printing looks relatively crisp even in the damaged areas, that doesn't seem to be the case.
