Help - Blue Dial - Scratched?
Just bought this dial for my 18038 36MM DD.
Not sure what this white stuff is. Can anyone help? Do I need to order a new one?? Also are the Roman numerals dirty ? |

Why not take it to a watchmaker and ask them to clean it up and install it? If you’re not happy with it, buy a different one.

Nobody is going to be able to tell you, definitively, what the white stuff is.

What are you thinking?
Find another dial. That one looks a mess.

I agree with the others (and you, I believe) that the dial is visibly in poor condition.
It was likely salvaged from a DD that had perished gaskets and stored for a long time in that condition. I’m going out on a limb here but I have seen this in watches from humid climates where microbes begin to colonize on the dial surface due to being worn without being dustproof. If you have a right to return with refund, that is your best course of action IMHO. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
