Dust under crystal

I just got my bb58 and found two specks under the crystal which looks to be dust. Not a big deal but is it easy to fix this problem? And anyone know a watchmaker in Southern California who I can trust to do this? Thanks!

It's easy to fix. Just make sure the watchmaker is Rolex-certified. You should be able to find a reputable one in your area online.

It's a bb58... so its basically brand new...

Take it back... get a refund, a replacement or a repair of your choosing.

Agreed. Dust under the crystal is unacceptable on a brand new watch. Opening the case and having a watchmaker remove it imposes risk of new dust entering and other issues.

It's not bugging me to the point of returning but exchanging would be a pain since I bought it off someone on the forum but lives in NYC.

If i have RSC do it would it still impose these risks or wouldn't they already take these precautions and wont damage anything while removing the dust under the crystal?
