With my 21j Presidential: Most screws were stripped and would not back out I ended up cutting links with a Dremel to remove them. With an ETA Submariner that came originally from Trusty Time, the screws came out and in with no problem. The quality of the bracelets on Rep Rolexes does seem to be a problem. The $20 watches at Walmart seem to have better bracelets; this is something the Rep Manufactuers need to improve.
My first post! You got a waterproof watch that keeps time. It has the Rolex "signature" see through crystal back What more could you ask for....maybe $140 refund? Well, at least your next purchase can only be better.
