16750 patchy dial fix?

Hi fellow forumers,

I recently purchased a 16750, 8.XXX mil serial from someone locally, he told me it was a mk.1 glossy dial and I was pretty happy with it, but recently upon certain angles and lighting, I discovered that part of the dial lacquer is chipped off (along the 5 hour marker), and has some blurry horizontal lines along the "GMT-Master" area, along with some stains!

Was wondering if this is normal?

Is there a way to get it fixed, or is it not worth the trouble?

Thanks in advance!

"Normal" wear and tear. Leave it alone. Put loupe away. Enjoy!
