Yes,  after reading this thread I also find a scratch - like crack on the centre bezel screw hole. Doesn't seem to go any further than the angular part of the moulding from what I can see and appears to be stress related with connections to the screw hole dimensions and incorrect moulding temperaures. It wouldn't really happen in thicker parts of the moulding  - only showing weakness at the very thin parts.  Having worked in the medical devices industry using plastic injection moulding processes I have seen this many times in beta production of complex parts. In my case I have rubbed a black wax crayon across the crack followed by polishing with a linen cloth in the same direction - now more or less disappeared, even when looking for it.
