I realize looking harder may make you hopeful it’s oil or some sliver of gasket. Or a dirty handed watchmaker.
But the evidence suggests a different reason.
I believe this watch was the victim of a terrible bash that shattered it’s original crystal. Shards of sapphire and/or the hard surface that shattered the crystal scraped the midcase’s inner edge.
Why? Because you have a service crystal on the watch.
It believe the bash also damaged the bezel and it was replaced. I don’t think some watchmaker did a beautiful radial refinish job on the original bezel but then boogered up the midcase.
Can you check and see if the dial’s lume and that on the hands is still functional?
I believe the hands are newer than the dial as the colors don’t match. They may have been damaged and replaced.

Oh my god, this isn’t good news at all. The hands and lume on the dial still glows properly.
How can I verify that this is a badly damaged watch?
