Anyone seen this before

Just noticed these imperfections in the crystal of my SPB079 purchased it a couple of weeks ago so it’s back to Seiko SC.

Perhaps slight flaws in the A/R coating? I've seen similar on other watches.

Good luck, hope you have it sorted soon

They look like humidity spots. They definitely need to fix it.

I have seen this before. Usually from using bug spray, or sun tan lotion. I had one person tell me hard water will do this also. Not super uncommon I am afraid.

Only had the watch a couple of weeks so had no contact with any spray or lotions

Don’t think marks are outside of crystal as I’ve tried wiping
