Swirl/scratch marks on new sub dial

[Benj9002]

So I recently just got a new submariner and have enjoyed it almost daily but I saw something concerning today. Only in specific angles under LED or strong sun light there are faint swirl marks on the dial. I read some forums that this is from the factory polishing job of the dial. Should I send it back to RSC or is it just the way it is?

Under certain harsh lighting, if you angle it just right, and hold your tongue just so.....

Share a pic if you can. Sounds like it’s the AR coating which is normal.

As mentioned photos might help

More than you think.

It started a lost conversation and bumped the OP's post from the second page up to the top of the Queue. Brought you into it too.

You forgot to mention you have to squint a certain way, too…. Chuckle

I think I know what you mean. Are these multiple circles under the crystal?
I can’t explain the phenomenon but I had the same once. It must be related to the AR coating on the inside. I had submariners for 10+ years, but it never occurred. Only recently with my 124060 sub. I will try to find a picture.

Something like this, but more extreme

Yes it happened to my Explorer. See thread. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=841612

Unsure if it’s what the OP is referring to hence why it would help if they shared a pic.

Those swirls are very visible in direct sunlight, if you have a cleaning cloth then whipe it and look at it again. They are much less visible then. I have those too on my GMT and they vanish after whiping the crystal.

I picked up a Pepsi on jubilee from my AD a month ago and have noticed the same. It bothered me for a day, and I got over it. When I look at my watch in direct sunlight I notice them but it is what it is
