Just received my new silver dial Oyster Perpetual. After the excitement of getting it out the FedEx box and putting it on my wrist, I noticed the double stick marker at the 3 o’clock position is at the 4 position. Would you send this back to Rolex to fix or leave as is?

Either you have a fake, or something that is going to be worth a ton of money

Yeah... I'm leaning toward the former

If it was poorly mis-stamped dial text, like was saw the other day, I'd send it back, but this one is more interesting, and I'd probably keep it.

dpt.calvin · 13 October 2020, 08:51 AM

Very interesting. Assuming this is genuine, I’d keep it.

offrdmania · 13 October 2020, 08:51 AM

I would not send it back. Its something that does happen from time to time but not often. That dial is a collectors dream

How did this pass QC???

Same way as these two, I guess. The Black Bay bronze was even sent out as a roadshow demo model in 2016.

Wow, I would love to collect these kinds of mistake, it's very unique.

For OP, I would keep it if it's from boutiques/ADs.

For the love of God keep it. But still I can't believe this passed qc. Like seriously they must be working insanely hard.

Working hard or hardly working. One of the two.

Lol true. Im shocked but jealous of OP. Still everyone that sees it might think it's a cheap fake.

OP, it's impossible to say if it'll be "worth a ton of money" as some commented. Do you find it interesting and quirky, or annoying and bothersome?

watchintime · 13 October 2020, 09:01 AM

I wouldn’t say “bothers” me, but that is definitely right where I look when I look at it. I am positive it is from An AD. Thanks for the opinions so far

I’m confused. Did you buy this from an AD or not? Did you go grey?

You said “Your positive it’s from a AD.” Where was it purchased from? I personally wouldn’t wear that.

juve · 13 October 2020, 08:55 AM

If it's genuine Rolex keep it.

gold&black · 13 October 2020, 08:55 AM

Wow I would keep it!

bwdellorf76 · 13 October 2020, 08:58 AM

Crazy. If it bothers you, ask your AD for a new one, but keep that one!!

SpaceDweller77 · 13 October 2020, 09:01 AM

I dislike the double indices enough, then this? Terrible, I would send it back, I don’t care how “rare” the mistake makes it.

gnuyork · 13 October 2020, 09:03 AM

That certainly would bother me, regardless if it were to become a collector's dream.

LDN · 13 October 2020, 09:05 AM

Hey op,
Did you photoshop that?

I agree with the board - if you are comfortable it is genuine, it's a keeper.

Cousteau390 · 13 October 2020, 11:42 AM

Did the AD happen to mention anything to you about it before shipping? :D curious.. is this a 36mm or 41mm?

MBYSF · 13 October 2020, 09:08 AM

I concur with the majority of the comments, if it's genuine... DEFINITELY keep it. And if you don't want to keep it, give me a call LOL

cvo · 13 October 2020, 09:24 AM

It would drive me crazy but if it does not bother you, return it or post for sale if it is actually worth more than retail.

iliketime · 13 October 2020, 09:11 AM

its no double 9 air king, guess this would be a mildly interesting error dial
