PAM 512 Red dot in movement?

[Fluxi]

Hey, today I noticed a red dot behind one of the gears. The first picture is an old one. The second is taken a few minhtes ago. Can anyone spot where it comes from or if it's normal?

Thanks in advance

Well that's a new one on me [emoji848]could it be a jewel that has been left in the movement? Does Watch run properly and is this loose? Maybe open caseback and shake it out?

I swear, it was gone two hours ago and now it is back. I tried to change the time to see if there is anything on a gear or something like that. It's bigger than a jewel. Almost looks like a little bit of leftover paint. But why does it change?

It could be paint on the outside of the spring barrel or another wheel that is turning and so is revealed as you wind it or as it winds back down?

I think I'm blind... can't find the red dot after looking for 2 mins

Is this a jewel fallen off and stuck at the cog?

No, I think it's just paint on the gear underneath?!

Not sure why there would be paint underneath on anything that's not visible but better get that fleck out. It might get caught in one of the gears and cause problems later.
