The cleanliness and condition of the dial and crystal of the watch are extremely important. These areas are constantly viewed by the owner and are the first and sometimes only impression the customer gets of your workmanship. The standard for these components is that they should be perfectly clean and free of dirt and debris, without smudges, and undamaged. One or two pieces of lint or debris that are only visible under magnification are acceptable. Multiple pieces of lint or debris visible to the naked eye under the crystal or on the dial are not acceptable and should be removed. No damage to the dial hands or luminous markers that is visible with weak magnification is acceptable. Any significant residue under the crystal, on the dial markers, or hands is not acceptable.
