After todays dives i have what looks like a penny sized "ink blot" extending from the top of the screen o ring,this looks like water to me,the unit has not been apart or dived deep yet (max 30m) anybody else have similar problems and can i do anything myself before returning the unit? thanks,simon.

best you can do is to return the unit.
I had a frozen ostc during a dive and the cause of this problem seemed to be water inside the ostc.

Hello,

In most cases, this is an unwanted but uncritical cosmetic effect. The grease from the O-Ring is pressed between the inlay and cover glass which looks wet.

Regards,
Matthias
