I appreciate you trying to make some deal out of this...but all it required was you sending in. Simple. You didn't and sold the watch.

So now what 6 months later you're complaining?

Zzzzzzz
It's just a goof. Like you do in the Patek thread... It's all in good spirit.

Again- I saw these marks on my 11-03 RG which came to me sealed.

It is not a defect. It is simply part of production on these watches, I am sure of it.

We agree on that.

Hey I thought this was the pic thread, not the crying thread.

Who has some pics? John any crop circle 035's?

Elliott some bank shots?

Wish Roger had a defective Tourb he could post.

Something needs to change then, shouldn't have visible marks, at least for my liking. I'm sure others couldn't care less but if I'm spending 100k+ the watch should be produced with no blemishes. They need to change this part of production in my opinion...

It doesn't bother me at all and like I said it has been present on almost all of my RMs I believe

Your a car guy. How would you feel if you bought a brand new Ferrari and the paint was off or blemished?

I would send it back to the dealer to fix. Simple.

Not complain 6-8 months after I sold it.

Now, I'm done bantering with you as it's a waste of time

Since you brought it up, my 22 NTPT. Repaired and sold. No drama no tears - disappointing on a 500k watch of course but it happens.

Is Forsey back from service (I recall you mentioning it was in)?

Hope to see RM slip it's way between the AP's in the future.

A screw from the movement fell out. Fortunately it didn't fall into the tourbillon carriage or it would have been very messy. I didn't have the heart to tell Mr Papi when I had lunch with him as he is such a lovely gentleman. These things happen they are hand made mechanical devices after all.

He makes your high end AP movements as well...so be nice

Agree though, after having lunch with him, I too found him quite the gentleman (and honestly a genius).

Are you sure John? Haven't seen any pics taken under microscope of any RM, maybe at X100 magnification they are really crappy, always great fun when a PP owner does it and writes a thread, who goes first?

. Couldn't believe the one where it was X100

No, there are no issues, whatsoever. Just take a Bounty paper towel and wipe it off. It is completely normal for your watch to come like this from the factory. No one cares but a few people so it's non discussion in an open forum. Everything is perfect with your watch. Sorry, but we aren't allowed to discuss any possible issues here, it must be all positive reinforcement for the brand.

Well that says it all--you didn't notice them. RM's come with a 5 year warranty, so take it back to your AD and have them send to RM. What is the big deal? Unlike Ack, who sold 8 months ago and is crying now. Or better yet, just sell it, that way someone can enjoy it.

Ack grow up. You've gone on and on for three pages now.

First this is a PICTURE THREAD-- (it's not a discussion thread).

Second, you sold your watch what 8 months ago and you're crying/trolling now?

Third, this is normal. If someone doesn't like it, send it to RM (something you refused to do). They will 'fix it'.

Fourth, I've owned 7 RM's (several twice) and zero issues. None.

If you have an issue and want to troll (and not even an owner), start a thread saying RM sucks.

This says it all...
