Cannot show before pictures they are long gone but picture of last service below watch has been serviced and polished now by 4 RSC world wide. Now soon 23 years old still looks good today still ticking strong and expect will be still ticking when my own ticker stops for good.

This story defies decades of experience with the brand.

OP I guess its nice Rolex made you happy but for me... I could not in good concise accept that solution. A basic polish would have been more than enough. These watches are built for use and the video looks fine to me. A touch up on the clasp maybe. The hairlines all over were from use not shipping. Benefiting on a technicality it seems. Sleep well. Hope we don't see that bracelet in the for sale section.

I didn't want to have to prematurely polish the bracelet, if ever, but I think I would've ultimately done a polish if I wasn't given a new bracelet with those eyesores (to me) that would've taken a lot longer (probably at least another 3 years) to accumulate with my wearing habits. Those additional scratches on the outside of the clasp, particularly the top right, would've really put a damper on the watch for me--especially since they came as a result of the shipping situation rather than wearing the watch. Furthermore, as many horror stories as I read about polish jobs (including from RSC), the general feedback makes me nervous to polish a watch--at least unless it desperately "needs" it. So to be given an option to avoid it was absolutely ideal--plus I get to keep the original bracelet; it's a no-brainer to the average person. Yes, there were some mostly very light hairlines throughout the bracelet before sending it off, but there was a good bit added due to negligent packing that was against protocol. This isn't a "technicality" thing where I had a "gotcha" moment because I found something inconspicuous; rather, it's pretty simple: either it was plainly cosmetically damaged by their actions or it wasn't. I realize the bracelet is still fully functional. However, a car with a scratched door that you see every time you open it is still functional. I get the most enjoyment out of my items when they're kept in as best of condition as I can reasonably help. Since you've offered a brief moral beating, it's entirely my business what I do with my property. For your information, although you are not owed it, I fully intend to keep all three bracelets. I'll probably use my original jubilee as a "beater," which will make me feel more comfortable wearing the watch in places I may wouldn't wear something with PCLs--like the beach. I'll also put sometimes put one on my Daytona if/when I get the call. I'll sleep just fine, and so will Rolex. The bracelet at most probably cost less than $1k for them to make. I'm a loyal customer to the brand, and this further solidifies my faith in the brand. As a multi-billion dollar "charity" who sells all their products at their desired price, they definitely can afford it. They're not some mom-and-pop that realistically would ever feel it. If you think what's happened here is over the top, you should look into what plaintiff attorneys do on a daily basis. |

Having owned 5 different Rolex references over the past 30 years and having dealt with numerous service intervals (factory), I’m amazed that a new bracelet was provided. The allowance of keeping the “old” bracelet just seems that much more unlike Rolex.
WADR: The scratches on the OG Jubilee could be easily corrected with an arbor and Bergeon “ultra-fine” (#4, #5) wheel plus buff in the hands of a trained Rolex tech, in about 20 minutes. I’ve had it done - several times while watching. I’ve never known Rolex to give away parts - especially something as proprietary and iconic as a Jubilee bracelet. Remarkable- |

I suppose it goes hand-in-hand with them getting to be more loose with allowing customers extra bracelet. The new bracelet is being delivered Monday.

OP - post up photos of your new bracelet when you receive it. It’ll settle the doubt some others have.

That's unusually generous of Rolex who are now well and truly uptight about everything.

Here it is.
https://imgur.com/a/OLvNlmg On the letter, the watch reference number is shown as 126718 instead of 126710. I cut off the top of the letter since it had my watch/contact details. This time it shipped in a coffin. |
