Is my window inside out?

To start, new build house, so new windows. We had a window replaced due to an imperfection in the glass and I noticed a few weeks later that it would steam up with even the smallest pan boiling, when the other two that are nearer the cooker were both fine.

We've had a couple of cooler mornings recently, and i noticed that the window that was replaced is the only one without condensation on the outside, when the rest of our south facing windows on the ground floor all have football sized spots that clear as the sun lifts.

Now that it's dark, I can see a definite copper sheen on the inside and it gets a mirrored effect when cleaning it. I've tried to demonstrate below.

Thoughts?

Seems to me that his stuff is hanging out!
Too kind, that's my elbow smile

I don't understand why this one behaves so differently and has a different reflection inside if it's not.. Different! Same manufacturer etc.

I'd rather not mess about with it, as if it's wrong they should fix it, but Id like someone that knows more than me to advise!

The treatment on the inside of the window is absolutely different from the rest of the windows in the house, but not noticeable under all conditions.

okay, doesn't look like I'm going to get anywhere with this! I'll get the site manager out and see what he thinks.

Cheers all
