Stain on my Cyclops

A couple days ago I noticed a clear/blue dot on my cyclops. I tried getting it off with dish soap and Veraet watch cleaner but its still there. I haven't done anything out of of the ordinary (swimming, washing hands, etc) so I cant think of what may have caused it.

Any ideas on what it is or how I can get it off? The watch is only 6 months old, so the worst case scenario is sending it to the NYC RSC.

Very strange... I wonder if something got in between the crystal and cyclops? Does it appear to be on the cyclops or under it?

Looks like the UV light use to set the glue has not set the glue correctly its a simple fix.

Couldn't it be a problem with the internal anti reflective coating of the cyclop maybe ?

I thought it may be the AR coating as well.

I would agree with Peter to get into a local authorized dealer or Rolex directly to get fixed

Would be interested to see what that looks like from another angle...
