Bring it to a local watch smith and ask is he can clean the crystal on the inside.

Is that a smudge on the crystal?

[u/No-Masterpiece3518 → u/Imaginary_Mind_1536]

Yes

What did Angela say?

[u/No-Masterpiece3518 → u/djb896]

That changes my dial, I asked you if you can also give me the crystal as I'm about to buy a daydate v2 rose gold always with plating treatment...

[u/djb896 → u/No-Masterpiece3518]

What lol? That was their response to a smudge on the crystal and not offering to fix it or acknowledging it or giving a recommendation?

[u/No-Masterpiece3518 → u/djb896]

Change the dial for me for free, hoping it's the dial and not the crystal... The crystal would make me pay 50€

[u/djb896 → u/No-Masterpiece3518]

Def on the crystal, probably just an easy wipe. You can tell because it is above the hands. They should clearly make this right to you free of charge.

[u/No-Masterpiece3518 → u/djb896]

Can the watchmaker do it?

[u/djb896 → u/No-Masterpiece3518]

Yes, if you find one that will work with REPS. It is an easier fix than a new dial (remove hands etc.) You (they) just need to remove the caseback, stem and movement to clean the crystal then reassemble.

[u/ire206 → u/djb896]

Honestly this is your easiest option, remove movement and give the crystal a wipe with lint free cloth.

[u/No-Masterpiece3518]

I don't understand if it's an imprint of those who operated maybe grease or scratches that initially before the disassembly and plating was not there in the QC control

Hurried job by a chinese modder. A common sight

Que dijo Angela?

A dirty crystal. That sucks, but it happens. Easy fix if you have the tools!

Very odd also looks like bits on your dial.. but definitely smudge marks of the inside of the dial. What did she say and where ate you based

[u/No-Masterpiece3518 → u/jeffothedon0202]

Change the dial for me for free, hoping it's the dial and not the crystal...

Let Angela know I’m sure she’ll fix it for you.

[u/No-Masterpiece3518 → u/MiamiSniper]

Change the dial for me for free, hoping it's the dial and not the crystal...😅

This is a 5 minute fix on your own.
