I love seeing these 3-5 year old threads pop up.
Well, you kids go play nice and talk amongst yourselves now. That is all. |

I don't know what you're trying to say monkeys.
I sure didn't love seeing the spot welds of my clasp pop off yesterday....... Ray |

Everything can break, and the new case seems to be after some pressure or force was applied to the bracelet?
But still, it's worrying... Guessing my watches will be worn on a nato while diving!

Makes me rethink purchasing a TT GMTc until the problem gets fixed, if it does. I heard Rolex is repairing them without cost to the owners, but I am not sure. Someone here might have better information.

Geez, holy thread resurrection Batman! The original post was from back in '09.
I think the spot-weld problem's pretty much been sorted by Rolex (production-wise) since these early reported incidences. Much ado about nothing, for the most part. |

The GMTs had this issue years ago when they were first released. I believe Rolex adjusted the mfging process and I honestly haven't seen the issue on a newer watch. Only seen this on the first ones. Hopefully Rolex will take care of this but next time it's easier to create a new thread instead of write on a 3-4 year old one.

Glidelock
Call me on-conforming, but I never liked that Glidelock on a "tool watch"!! Way too complex and too many potential points of failure. Give me "TUNA" cans all day long. Have owned 4 and never had a failure under years of abuse. Had worn pins replaced from sand and salt in bracelet, but never had one break. Had em on 1979 Tudor Sub, 1986 GMT, 1996 Sub and now on the last best Rolex, the indomitable 14060M!!!

Wow that's does not look good. At least only one side snapped off so the entire watch didn't fall off and hit the floor!

Final update:
Rolex service center in Dallas just returned my watch to me. I am very impressed with the complimentary service I received!! The weld points on the clasp look very solid now and the watch looks like new. |
