I'd keep it.. a misprint from rolex is worth having imo.

Though it does make it look like a replica

The C also looks goofy especially in "Officially". Then again it looks like a 6th graded doodled the whole thing, maybe they are going for the Patek 5212 look. Let's see some more pics.

Not what you expect from the crown. However my opinion is that it adds value,if it’s a one off. If there is a batch of them then it’s very poor indeed.

Have send it back for replacement - it’s unacceptable

I thoroughly recommend returning it as the whole luxury item experience would be spoiled for me.
Replacement or refund.
Good luck.
When I bought my BB41 the one in the shop had a slight mark on the case as I voiced my disapointment a brand new stickered and in a coffin replacement was ordered for me.
Great service from WOS Glasgow.

My thought exactly. All jokes aside I wouldn't be surprised if I saw these become a hot commodity in 10-20 years.

Interesting. In years to come will the watch:
a) be worth more as it’s unique - in the same way ‘second’ bank notes or stamps are valuable; or
b) be worth less as many will think it’s a replica

Very cool. Unless you don't like it. They will replace it of course...

That would do my head in.....the whole of the 2 lines of lettering looks all over the place....I’d take it back for sure, it’s a Rolex watch, you’ve just bought it, the letters should be exact and precise

Keep it! The crown rarely makes a mistake. Plus the Turquoise might turn out to be the most popular, who knows..

Bracelet gaps on the sub c - is that the new 12xxxx line? I missed that.

It is a printing error.
I'd get a new dial.
Your choice, keep or fix.
No collector value there, if that is what you might think.

Depending on who you talk to, Rolex makes quite a few mistakes. Misaligned rehaut. Misaligned bezel. Scratched on sunburst dials. Sloppy paint on GMT hands.
This one is really bad and I would definitely send it back. No collectible value in my opinion.
