Default Speck of dirt behind watch glass
Had my Nixon 51-30 a few weeks and today noticed a speck of dirt on the inside of the glass. Nothing major I know but now I know it's there it's annoying me.

Reckon they would clean it under warranty?

Had this on my TAG and it was done under warranty though I think it comes down to who serves you in the shop. I was OK as my daughters friend is assistant manager where I took mine.

It'll pay me not to look properly, I've just looked at some pics I took one the day I bought it and it's clearly there.

Can't you just take the watch face off yourself and get rid of the spec of dirt as most are a doddle to take off.

Sounds as that you have a very good case to ask them to do the job then.

not the point though, if YOU notice it, then it spoils the enjoyment of the watch

Like Pissy Lewis's dead pixel I guess....

Paint a bit of tip-ex on top so it looks like the white face seriously though it would annoy me!

Just as an aside, is it an expensive watch ??
