Have any of you ever had....

Have any of you ever had stuff magically appear on your dial, like lint or a little white spec of Superluminova?

I looked at my Sub the other day and WOAH, what's that little white spec on the dial! I have absolutely no idea how it got there unless it was a piece of luminova that fell off and then somehow stuck to the dial or something.

Does that "spec" glow in the dark? Hmm... never had that experience with my watches before so I'm stumped as well.

Ooh, I'll have to try that.

The watch is running slow, so maybe I can have them clean the dial and regulate it, but I'm paranoid that they'll leave something else like a fignerprint in it or something.

That would be a wicked April 1 joke
Could you just imagine, picking up your watch after servicing to see a nice big thumbprint on the inside of your crystal

That really sucks, Morg. Just take it in to your AD and it should be fixed.

All the best - JJ

Hey JJ, you must have some experience with lint in your watch!
