Rolex 16613LN-Seconds hand lume AWOL-Common Issue?
Hi, so I bought this 16613LN and I have noticed it is missing the lume in the seconds hand. The watch is in transit and I do not see any debris behind the sapphire, however is this a common issue? Is it easily repaired? Am I better off sending this back? Should I just live with it? It was not mentioned in the sale.
Also, it is listed as a 1995 16613, however I think this is based on when the paperwork was signed, but it is an 'S' series, so is that from 1993 or 1994? I have looked online and it seems to span both years. The serial is S503xxx Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks |

Actually, I took this to my jeweler and he can colour match the lume and replace it. So I dont need to go all the trouble of sourcing a hand and the watch is still all original.

Not mentioning it in the description would piss me off !But I'm surprised you didn't pick up on it before you bought it It's not a common issue. Send it back. The ref is 16613 ln ?

Yeah, no I saw it in the description, but I got it for $5800USD, so I think it was a steal. Its a full set too.
