Issue with the Diver 15710
I’ve recently been looking to possibly acquire an AP Diver. In more than one piece I’ve looked at I’ve seen spotting on the hands (including the second hand) and indices. As you can see in the photos these are white spots that look like it could possibly oxidation.
The aftermarket seller I’m speaking to says this is common on Diver and also Offshore models.
Have others seen this spotting on their Divers or on other Offshore models? I would like to assess whether this issue is specific to the particular watches I’ve looked at (maybe due to water incursion) or whether it really is common.
Thanks.

It would be very exited for me, as i strap on my first AP. But a longtime ago i was dissapointed when i saw a royal oak. Not fair, a shiny display of Rolex watches was guilty. Every other watch fade away. Very fat, yachtmaster white gold, Millgauss gv.
