Is it rebairable???? (((Pics))))

[Luv rolex]

Hello my friends been while since i last post here, recently i bought an AP ROO navy blue I serial from 2014 and although the watch was used but its in good shape. Couple days ago ive noticed 2 things that botheres me and would lile to know if its rebairable
1) in the pics i focused with the louple in the area above the chrono pusher under the rubber ring there is a dent and although its too small but gives me hard times and my question is is it rebairable by laser welding at AP service center AND would it ever leave mark OR be an weak spot in the case??

2) also above number 2 inside the glass i saw a piece of dust + on the rotor also spotted 1

3) finally the chrono ring between 90 and 100 i saw some kind of orange colour but iam not sure what it is exactly!!

The dealer i bought the watch from confirm that the watch never been opened and frankly speaking i did not see any sign of opening the caseback or bezel not even the holes in the sides, does it count as a manufacture flaws or is there some leak. Unfortunately we have no AP service where i live so i might ship it to clearwater but thought you guys may give me your opinions

put the loupe away. No good ever comes from it. I can see specks of dust on the WG hour markers on every AP I have ever looked at. Well, not a loupe technically but macro photography, but its the same thing.

Im sure they can fix it though. Your always going to find things on a loupe though.

honestly i can't tell what that is. It may be a dent or it may be a scratch in the finishing. In any case it is repairable but if that is the biggest dent on your watch at this point I suspect you are not actually wearing it. You are going to get it scratched over time and at service time AP can sort it for you.

With a dent (scratch?) that small you may need to point it out to them to make sure they fix it though as they could miss it all together

I would not dare inspect a preowned watch with a loupe lol. If you want to use a loupe buy a Lange or grand seiko.

Yep

I did just that this weekend with a Datograph at my AD. First time i tried that on or looked at the movement in detail and in person. That is my grail for sure.

The spec on the dial might bother me depending on now visible it is with the naked eye, the rest like above put the loupe away and enjoy the watch.

First thank you sir for your respectful opinion but i judt bought last week but didnt noticed it before and yes ism sure its dent, the watch has multiple surface scratches and even the bezel which i dont care but middle case dents always bother me thus iam asking how could they repair it and if it will be well welded or just some different material added which will leave it noticed or weak spot in the case.

Iam also afraid that those specs of dust is due to some kind of leak as iam not sure if its common problem in AP pieces or not??

Spec of dust wouldn't be my first though as a sign of a leak, is there any signs of dial or movement corrosion?

If you are concerned about the integrity of the watch maybe have it leak tested?

Did the watch come with any service history?

LOL

The Spec of dust I would remove. The others just leave it

can you post a regular pic of the dial that isn't magnified? I do see the speck and on my watches, the specks are on the hour markers themselves not on the dial. If i could see it without magnification i would probably get that fixed. Here is a speck on my 15400, right in the middle. Does not bother me at all as i can't see it without looking at pics that are zoomed in.

Agree 10000000%

About scratches I think they will polish it, which I wouldn't do, you bought it used, can't be like new...

Actually i cannot find any kind of corrosion although i wash it almost everyday and as the seller confirmed that the watch was not opened i guess there is no service history but i think i might ask the service center with the serial number.

I would be glad if someone send me betsy contact no. and email

I really see no dent and with the quality of these pics is almost impossible to tell that there is a problem there. Can you take some pics without that loupe and then crop so we can see the issue while zooming into the image?

Regarding the dust spec is that visible to the naked eye? What type of loupe are you using 2x, 10x, etc?
