New Ultra 3 has blue paste, smudge, and crown imperfection

Hello guys,


I just opened my Ultra 3 and found some blue paste in the screw holes. It also had a smudge on the backside that I could wipe of and a slight imperfextion on the crown. I attached pictures of everything. My Ultra 1 didn‘t have that. So I wanted to know if this is normal for the Ultra 3 or some manufacturing issue.


Thank you for your Input and all the best
