New Datejust - Debris on dial, thoughts?

I purchased a new Datejust 36 this week and noticed debris on the dial by the 23rd minute marker. Despite the particle being highly visible to the naked eye, I didn’t notice it while at the AD due to the bright lighting. Would this be worth returning for servicing after 3 days of ownership? Interested to know if others have experienced similar issues and if RSC was able to remedy without damaging the hands, etc.

Unfortunately, yes you need to get it removed. It might find its way into the movement.

Very pretty watch!

That would bother me as well. Never experienced this issue and I’ve owned quite a few

I’d take it back to the A D. Most all have a inside watchmaker in the building and I don’t think there would be any need to remove the hands

I don't know what that is, but if it got loose in there and started rolling around, it could spell trouble. Yes, I'd take it back in. Good luck to you.
