Folks are saying that a watch hand is likely to show minor blemishes at extremely high magnification, just like almost anything else.

Getting a "service" for a blemish is not generally cost effective

That looks like dust. That’s not considered an issue really.

Loupes can really take away a lot of the enjoyment of wearing watches.

Absolutely!. There is a guy named Kurt Behm on one of the forums and he has a few Pateks. He has stated that under a loupe he saw multiple flaws on his Pateks. He even posted the pics of I’m not mistaken. It’s been a little while. I’m definitely not checking as you said, it really takes away from the enjoyment.

To be honest, i don’t see what you mean. Do you refer to those white spots? That’s just reflection from the light i think.

+1, i found this out the hard way. When you look with loupes at details of your watch you can always find some imperfections. How small it is, once you see it it cannot be unseen.

OP, If you don’t see it with the naked eye just let it be. If it really bothers you and you don’t mind the money you can let it be serviced and replaced. But after a service you still can find some specs or dust of something. My advice, just enjoy the watch as is.

Loupes are a watches worst friend nothing is “ perfect “
