New Rolex Sub, new to forum - after some advice

[Frazer]

Hi TRF Community 👋,

I have recently purchased my first Rolex, the beautiful 124060 2021 Submariner (no date).

Like most new watch owners I have spent the past few days absolutely besotted and intensely studying every mm of the watch.

Upon inspection I have spotted what I think is a very minor imperfection and wonder if this is indeed an imperfection or totally normal. On the 12oclock chromalight marker there is a small dark patch near the middle, its barely visible and I dare say 9/10 people would never notice.... but now I've seen it I cannot unsee it 🤦

I assume its a lack of pigment in that area as its more visible in the dark when chromalight is charged.

I am taking it back to the dealer for inspection and they have agreed to swap but keen to see if this is common?

Welcome to the forum Frazer.

Let us know what your AD has to say. Without a picture it’s hard to judge what you’re describing, but if it’s one of those “can’t unsee it” things, I’d be inclined to have it addressed.

Good luck, it’s a beautiful reference btw

Thank you,

A quick update, I took back to the dealer and it was replaced without question, they agreed it was a factory defect and had not seen anything like it before.

It was suggested that defects like this can add value as its more 'unique' but I suspect this was a ploy to avoid the hassle of replacing and not something that interested me.

Absolutely love it and cant take ot off my wrist :)
