droptopman Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Out of 10 watches I have bought in the last 4 months, 4 needed work upon arrival or shortly after arrival. Just part of our crazy hobby. I personally won't send back to dealer based on what experience members of the forum have stated. I found a good trustworthy watch smith and send them to him to fix. Not only to fix the identified problem but to check them out and perform any other beneficial services. Then I know I have something I can wear and enjoy and know it should last. Just my 2 cents.

Jkay Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Paint can be replaced and movements easily fixed. You can either ask the dealer to replace your watch or you can have it fixed by a trusted watch technician. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Depending on your location, there are rep friendly watchmakers in EU, AUS, and Stateside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B12b12 Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 thx chaps ! I will see what the TD has to say ... I took some really close pics ... interesting that under the paint is black ..... a proper rolex bezel is actually coloured ceramic ... so repainting this maybe tricky as the standard procedure seems to be to wipe away excess paint with nail varnish remover ... I rekon that could lift the blue too ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Just be aware that depending upon the shipping times to China, etc it can be as much as 3 months round-trip for a watch sent back for repairs. Perhaps your dealer will source for you a perfect bezel and your watch man can install it, and repair the date mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
