Ahhh, but GS is NOT different. There are two active threads (on another forum) with similar issues. One got the same "no-issues-from-30cm" B.S. and the other is still in progress, but my guess is that they will get the same response... .

Also please keep in in what I wrote regarding the fact that all my watches have some specs of dust or the one minor scratch (hands only). I admit though that my SLA025 was a worst-case scenario and your Seiko will very most likely look a whole lot better...

Ah yes, it's Mr. no-loupe

But you will agree that I gave full disclosure, ending the topic with this Smartphone photo (no retouching). You can see the lume bleed (if you know about it, otherwise it would be passed off as reflections).
But the only visible dust on this one is on the crystal...
