FIZ Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Just thought it may be worth drawing everyone's attention to a manufacturing fault that is becoming very prevalent on the new Rolesor bracelet. The one with the shiny centre links. It involves the one of the two inner arms that fold away under the bracelet. It's the one with the little catch on it where the Rolex name emblem (with the wavy lines) appears. The faulty is that it should be highly polished but lots of them are finished in a matt surface which barely shows the Rolex name and when rubbed with a finger or cloth the word Rolex basically disappears. Lots of reps out there (particularly the new GMT Master II with the ceramic bezel) have this fault, which is just a dead giveaway and a shame as otherwise it is a fantastic rep. I have two GMT's and one has a perfect Rolesor bracelet, all shiny and a perfect "Rolex" emblem, but my latest acquisition the black GMT II ceramic bezel has the fault and it major in my view. Perhaps someone of influence or who know the manufacturers, and can attempt to have it remedied. Sorry about lack of photo, I tried to dowload one from my iphone ( a crap picture anyway)but failed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 ou are right about this but on the new Milgauss DJ AND dd the clasp looks about perfect. Maybe the GMT has been updated and you have two versions or from different factories. My GMT has the matte clasp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 The Rolex printing on the inner leaves of my chs GMTIIC (1st version) is laser etched & it cannot be rubbed off. So I am not sure what you are seeing. When convenient, please post a good, clear pic that illustrates the issue you are describing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clkcadet Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 My latest GMT C was correct, except it needed to be painted black (figure the same way you would fill in the backcase of a SSD) If you see pics of the gen all of the writing has black ink. On the DJ, Milgauss and DD they are simply etched in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
