...and yet another seller w/AM parts on their watches.

...again, the UNSUSPECTING buyer will NOT be able to get it svcd at an RSC.

they need to start advertising the fact that with those aftermarket parts that these watches will not be able to be serviced...

Err buddy Stan...Orchi concurs with you on this sticky issue...

Most of the time...the Sellers would NOT mentioned the potential difficulty of getting subsequent service from RSC or AD faced by buyers...after having bought such a watch with aftermarket Dial n Bezel...or parts.

So we are ended up with a catch 20 situation...here again...whenever Sellers of such watches do disclose the parts being aftermarket...in their listings.

Report or not to report...?

That is a "Catch 22" situation Orchi, but not everyone uses the RSC. I know a couple reputable jewlers here that use aftermarket diamond bezels. In fact, I believe many resellers, non-Rolex jewlers, use aftermarket diamond bezels.

Looks like the saphire index did not line up looks like it was glued in place. Shoddy!

Yeah garbage job. Stones aren't evenly set (see 9 and 6 and even the 12 position).
Makes me ask when diving, "How many diamonds have we been down for?"

The way you turn a functional bezel into a useless ornament is beyond my comprehension. Same goes for those blinged-out Daytonas. What purpose is the watch if the bezel is useless?
Yeeeegggh!
