Haha I like your response - taking it in your stride. Many here wouldn’t with this sort of criticism (including my critique). Kudos to you. |

Perfect attitude…as long as you like it who cares what others think, it’s not their watch. I’d never do it to mine but it’s all a matter of personal preference. |

Pay your money and wear your watch don’t care what anyone else thinks.
If you ask the question you might not like the answer that’s why there is choice. |

Hmmm. Either the OP was trolling, went on vacation, or his AD asked him to stop commenting in this thread? I was looking forward to seeing the mystery solved.

This is super interesting. The marketing collateral on Rolex's website still shows the high polish lugs, too.

OP has been kidnapped and boinked by ROLEX. rolex would never admit to an error in manufacturing like this.

Just bumping this…
Is this the same watch? https://www.chrono24.co.uk/rolex/rol...id21088503.htm I noticed also from the Netherlands. |

Milgauss brushed lugs update
Who would have even reserved that?
The seller has mentioned scratches where the bracelet has been removed a few times to ensure the watch is genuine?! Doesn’t really scream confidence to perspective buyers. Obviously those on TRF know the story, but the majority of visitors to Chrono24 are not TRF members. So let me get this right; It’s a watch that has been listed for sale as new, but has had its authenticity questioned, has also got slight damage, and may possibly have not been produced properly. And this is being sold for a premium? You can tell that the market is at an all-time low (or high, depending on how you see it). |

But this is still THE one.
I bought it for it’s features and I would not change one thing. If you like the brushed finish Wesley then keep it. Or send it back and have it replaced.
