5500 Air-King appears to have rust on the rehaut/inner crystal

Last night I noticed when taking a loupe to my 5500 that there appears to be rust on the inside of the rehaut near the crown. It doesn't look coppery like usual rust, it almost has a blackish look to it. I had the watch fully overhauled by Central Watch in GCT in February, so this is surprising to me. It is under warranty for 2 years. What should I do, sent it back?

Do you have pictures of the discolouration?

I would to go in and ask a specialist just in case.

No, I don't. Its at such an angle where a camera probably wouldn't pick it up. Im wearing it today, but ill probably put it away tonight and let it run down until I bring it in. Ive never left the crown open, it has all new seals, and it passed a pressure test, so I have no idea how this could have happened.
