I purchased this P-serial Datejust with factory diamond champagne dial last month, and upon arrival, I immediately noticed that there is a slight discoloration on the dial around the markers at the 4, 5, & 6 O'clock positions, with the 5 O'clock being the most noticeable. Although somewhat difficult to capture with a camera, the darker color around the markers can be seen with the naked eye. Inspection with an 8X loupe reveals what looks like a 1 mm white colored ring (water spot?) under the 5 O'clock marker. I'm starting to think that the watch has suffered minor moisture intrusion, and I have found the artifacts.
