I own a Sidestep also purchased directly from Wempe London... I wear it on rare occations, but it shows no such issues.

I would suggest you send the example back to Wempe or Lange directly and get this addressed as it would seem some notable moisture is inside the case!

You will certainly want to inspect your storage location... there would seem little question that a dehumidifier is required.

For those that love these watches, I thought I'd post a little reminder of what the reverse looks like:

From what I see on the bezel, there are some dings, at least hairlines. As for the circumference of the subdial, looks like your watch has some water resistance issues. But the strange thing is that the issue seems located at this place, only. Surprising.... 

Sure ... the watch never warn on wrist

If any hair lines ,It may be happen when I take it for take photo. Because I do not wear watch...

Watches are made to be worn, They work best that way, and hate being left neglected in a drawer, safe or box like this poor.... still so beautiful one here. Rishad
