Oil or water under crystal?

[snapback]

Howdy all! I got my first Rolex - Sub Date - from my wife as a wedding present. Absolutely love it and I wear it anytime I’m not sleeping!

On our honeymoon, in the plenty of light that is French Polynesia, I noticed some markings on/under the crystal. I filled the sink with soapy water, took my toothbrush, and scrubbed away. Wouldn’t come off. So, it would seem they’re under the crystal.

To my eyes, and it’s admittedly a bit hard to tell in the attached picture, they look to be a light brown color which leads me to wonder if they’re lubricant reside spots. I’ve kept the crown screwed down the entire time I’ve had it so it’s not water damage.

What do y’all think? I’ll be taking it in to the dealer this coming weekend to potentially send back to Rolex.
