Not everyone. You obviously, but not everyone.

This reminds me.

I went to a grey dealer few months ago and he had a two-tone smurf sub where the gold was NOTICEABLY darker than the other model next to it. Almost rose-gold-like or an orange-gold.

He explained to me it had been kept in a safe by the first owner adjacent to other metals like coins and bar stock precious metals and it changed the hue of the smurf over time to a darker color.

Is that why steel watches are out of stock?

I hope the news is they restored the color free of charge.

I empathize with you, OP. Wishing you the best.

Been reading this thread from the start and almost every post from you is bashing another forum member on their spelling or some other negative all coming from the guy with a random Frank Sinatra avatar.

Jackson Stone was simply correcting my spelling from my post #350

There is now where in Rolex manual warning against going into pools

ITS FINALLY BACK!

Had the call from my AD today (please note I didn’t purchase the watch from them originally and they treated me as if I had, Amazing service from Jamie at Watches Of Switzerland In Cardiff - will be purchasing more from him in the future)

But It’s not back, it looks like they have polished it as the bezel isn’t as sharp as my other DJ but it takes a real good look/feel (I might even be wrong) but they have done an amazing job and didn’t charge me a penny.

Also, Rolex Head Office in Geneva seen this post so we know they’re watching and paying attention.

Really Happy, hats off to Rolex & Watches Of Switzerland in Cardiff, Wales!

filsgreen · 19 June 2019, 01:21 AM

I'm really happy you've had a good outcome, and more importantly, not out of pocket.

holdtime · 19 June 2019, 01:27 AM

Looks new.
That’s why we by Rolex . They always there.

Fantastic outcome! Congrats and thanks for following up

skyseadweller · 19 June 2019, 02:00 AM

thats some good closure on this thread , but i still would like to know the reaction that caused is chlorine/bromium or whatever was used in that tub

Londonboy · 19 June 2019, 02:28 AM

Very interesting thread, and congrats on the outcome

Largoshark · 19 June 2019, 02:36 AM

Great outcome! And to my untrained eye the bezel looks just as sharp as the one next to it in your picture.

Also very interesting to learn that the head office has seen this thread.

goodolejr · 19 June 2019, 02:38 AM

Happy to see this. Wear it in good health, OP!

Bigblu10 · 19 June 2019, 02:42 AM

Did they give you any explanation/ recommendations on what not to do in the future?
