Pam 233 Owners (or domed crystal watch owners) is this normal? ? ? ?

i bought this NIB.

i'm pretty sure this is normal due to the domed nature of the crystal, but i just wanted to make sure.

i see patterns in the crystal when the sun hits it at certain angles.

see pic. thanks.

Normal and applies to all "domed" 1950s, my favorite of all PAM crystals (plexi included)

I thought that I would add to this thread with a picture of my dome sitting in traffic. I don't take pictures like "Travelller" but I thought that I would try.
