I recently received a watch (Panerai) from a TD and there are a couple of issues that I have not come across before. The first is the glass. It's a sapphire crystal with light AR coating but there seems to be a layer of dust on the inside making the glass look dull. I noticed a bit of dullness in the QC pics but thought it must be the lighting of the room and didn't think much of it until I got the watch yesterday.

Looking at the watch it just doesn't look sharp, the dial is not "there" like it is with my other watches and the date is hard to read as well. When I angled it outdoors under the sun I could see a film of dust or particles of something on the inside of the glass and I managed to take a few pics which I sent to the TD. They agreed to take it back and fix it up or send me a new one.

The other issue is with the movement...it's loud! Every time I move my hand I can hear it. It's a 23J. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do about it to make it quieter?
