You may want to follow with the AD and have them send in a pic to Rolex themselves to verify the faux-pas but if that is in fact an error from the Rolex factory then DO NOT REPLACE IT!

That is why tropical dials are worth much more than a pristine non-oxidized dial for example.

Looks like a chip. At that price I would ask for it to be fixed. Or replaced.
