You would think they would assemble these in a clean room. All Rolex's have dust in them at the 20x+ marco level, 5-10X magnification you usually can't see it. I've actually seen micro brands cleaner. Rolex needs to come to this forum and hire us! We are the most anal bastards on the planet. LOL

Hey Sales Associate … there’s a hair in my watch !!!

UPDATE: Brought it to the AD with a Rolex Tech on-site and he removed the pube, pressure tested it to confirm it left the factory this way, and hooked me up with a green pouch. All in all it took about 30 mins. Thanks for the advice to have it checked out! He said it was a good move to bring it in since it could have eventually made its way to the movement.

If you ever sell you have to disclose pubic hair they removed. And share what was written on the service letter. I’m curious as to what Rolex calls this. Thanks in advance.

He just said it was a “factory fiber that wasn’t removed during QC”

There was a fluff on the date wheel in my Polar. I had my Rolex serviced and they removed the foreign body under warranty.

The QA department had celebrated the shift manager's birthday at the GoGo nightclub the day before. The next day, they only picked up GMT watches from production; Polar and Pepsi.

I once took a Ball watch to an authorised service centre so they could remove a couple of dust specs while I waited. I was so happy I did so even though it was a bit of a trek!

I appreciate you writing down what he said as a reminder of what he said of which was clearly said above what you said for which is now said, again.

Glad it all worked out! I had a similar thing happen with a Sub. Mine was a white spec on the dial... I was going to take it back but it disappeared somewhere...

Or what kind of sneeze? Since that's almost definitely a nose hair.
