Rolex 116400GV question

[Holy_Peanuts]

Hello,

Today I was checking out my Milgauss because I haven't worn it in a while. At one point in my life I always wanted one, but unfortunately the heft of it turned me off over time, so sadly it spends most of its life in a box..

I noticed what looks like flaws in the green tint. I tried to search for similar instances on google but was struggling to find the words to best describe them. The "bubbles" or "stains" are very hard to see with the naked eye. I took pictures using a 10x loupe so you all can see.

Are these common for this watch? Despite this discovery, I am still 99.9% sure this watch is authentic. It was bought from a trusted retailer.

I appreciate any thoughts you may have.
Thank you.

Looks like waterspots on the glass rather than the dial in my opinion. Especially so in the 2nd picture. Are you sure that it's on the dial?

[Holy_Peanuts]

I apologize for not being more clear. The spots are clearly on the glass; definitely not on the dial. They do not wipe off and cannot be cleaned. It would seem that they are on the underside of the glass. Almost like the tint is peeling.. But to my understanding, a real 116400GV does not have a tint

So uh...I can't be the only one who sees a pair of nuts and a...tip...in the bottom pic?

Looks like glass got scratched by the guy out of superbad

[Holy_Peanuts]

It's not a penis and it's not scratched! :D
It's actually all over the sapphire, impossible to be scratches..

Does anyone else who owns this watch have this as well?

I have had mine for 4 years now and never noticed anything like that on the glass.....I would would have in checked out..

I have just checked mine - nothing.

I just checked mine too...nothing

[Holy_Peanuts]

Weird.. I am confused as to what it could be.

It is very difficult to see without magnification, I'm kind of hoping you just cant see it

Imo -based on these pictures- these look like lime residue caused by (hot) water droplets to dry on the surface of the watch. If you are certain it's on the inside, then I suggest taking it for a service. If it might be on the exterior side of the glass, try rubbing it with a cloth and a product like polywatch.

Thank you, I will try that. I only tried water so far.

Here are more pictures of the watch. As you can see, the spots only show during specific lighting conditions and angles.

And this embarrassing link that I assume was just a poor polishing job by someone after it left the Rolex factories. I did not buy the watch new.

Looks like the outline of very old water spots left on the crystal.

That thought had crossed my mind. I tried cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol yesterday and that didn't do anything unfortunately..
