anyone ever have a spec of lint under crystal
My friends gmt coke has a tiny spec of lint under the crystal at the 5 min mark, you can hardly see it even under bright light. Is it anything to worry about?

I've had it happen in my PAM and my GMT-IIc. I got mine cleaned right away, just bring it to a watch maker and have him clean it out for you.

Curiously enough, my GMT Coke has a spec of lint under the crystal too. It's at about 1:00.
It drove me nuts when I first got the watch, now it's just something else that sets mine apart. I still plan on having it removed this Nov when I make a trip south. |

If watch was bought new and if this tiny bit of lint did not interfere with the operation and functionality of the watch.Then I would inform the AD where it was bought to record it, then wait till service was due to remove it or take advise from the AD.

My previously-owned SD has a tiny piece of lint on the crystal. I plan on having it removed at service time, but I've gotten so used to it already it might be missed!
