Hair!

I've had my RO Chrono for a few weeks now (BNIB from a grey dealer) and noticed the other day that there's a small dark hair, about 2mm long, on one of the chrono dials!

I doesn't really concern me as it's barely noticeable (it took me weeks to see it despite staring at it for hours) but just wondered if you guys thought it was an issue.

Can they remove it when they service it next or do they not take it apart to that degree?

I would post a pic but only have my phone and it can't focus that closely.

This stuff happens, it's easy to remove and if you can wait till service great, I probably couldn't.

Send it in for removal and give off about having to do so.

Have them get a DNA sample so they can punish whoever is responsible.
Seriously I know this is frustrating

Take a pic as close as you can.

Get the watch serviced and they'll take care of it.

It would bug me...Also would love to see close-up pics.

I would imagine it's an easy fix...I had a small piece of dust on the dial of a white Daytona I had.

Once I discovered it, it might as well have been the size of a black saucer on the dial...Had it taken care of.

Posting a picture, hope it works as I haven't done it before. You can see the offending article to the right of the 12.
