Dial printing flaw
Looking over the watch with a loupe I picked up a couple of small flaws.
On the dial the inner line of the minutes track has a tiny flaw where the line is not competely solid as it has a very slight break in it. You can *just* see it with the naked eye but it is driving me mad.
Also on one of the bridges of the movement there is what looks like a tiny speck of debris or a which can be seen without a loupe but is only the size of the point of a pin.
My question is whether these will be fixed at service or if I should exercise the remaining 2 months of the warranty and send it to Patek. Perhaps I'm being too particular but for a watch costing this much and where the finish is everything I'd have expected better QC.
Are dials automatically replaced at service?
Congrats!

Congrats on your new watch. I have the same one and you certainly hear it's presence. Perhaps it's the thinness of the case. But regardless, it is entirely normal. I love the silvery shimmer of light on the dial. Also the warmth of rose gold is something ...
New watch!
