I would say on contrary. If the manufacturer believes that their products are perfect, then the warranty would be lifetime. Check Snap-On tools and many more.

Yup, indeed, Wandy
![]() But when even Patek sometimes don't get it right, making far less watches than Rolex, IMHO Rolex is doing pretty well.

@ Ohlins: Very good point about the warranty!
Why need it if everything Rolex makes is perfect? ![]()

All Danes should agree with one and eachother
![]() Let's have a Carlsberg soon ![]() Speaking of perfectionism: "Patek don't..." should have been "Patek doesn't..." ![]() Unless you see Patek as a group of people.

Someone here once posted a "World Rank List" of watches: Tier 1 High End Luxury a) Patek Phillippe A. Lange & Sohne b) Audemars Piguet Vacheron Constantin c) Breguet Glasshutte Original Girrard Perregaux Blancpain d) Ulysse Nardin Franck Muller Jaeger LeCoultre F.P. Journe Tier 2 Luxury a) IWC Rolex Piaget b) Cartier Chopard Maurice Lacroix c) Breitling Omega Chronoswiss d) Bvlgari Zenith Tier 3 Transitory Luxury a) Baume & Mercier Raymond Weil b) Tag Heuer c) d) Tier 4 Basic Luxury a) Movado Rado b) Fortis c) Oris Revue Thommen d) I am not sure whether I agree with this list, but at least according to the list, Rolex is quite far down.

In taking delivery of any new item, it is always advised for the buyer to do a complete inspection of the item before signing the check and any documents. Car dealers love to tell you, when you find a flaw, that they'll take care of it when you bring it in for the first service. I have told them "No, you'll take care of it right now or the deal is off." One of the great flaws in modern QC is the reliance on machines to spot the flaws. That takes a human eye...just like the customers. John |

I see that....Is it just a bit of paint, or is the etching that makes up the 6 the defect? Afater a while, the paint does fade and chip out of the stamping.. I'm not saying take a new one that way, just trying to understand the defect better. Paint is sloppy, bad stamping is defect; ![]() |

Man, I still cannot see what all the fuss is about,but then I'm 70+ and I can blame it on age,but I believe people who own a Rolex expect it to be right! I believe " If it's in sight, it's gotta be right" IMO. Hayman4353

On the EXP II, The numbers and markers are stamped (recessed) into the bezel. The paint is just added to highlight the stamping.
They appear to be etched but I'm pretty sure they are stamped as a single unit, the unit is sprayed black, then the bezel is brush finished and edged leaving the black paint in the recessed numbers... it's easily touched up. Last edited by Tools; 9 July 2007 at 10:51 AM.. |

One of my DJ's had a mis-aligned crystal when I went to buy it. They re-aligned it before I came back with a credit card.

Mark....I am surprised by what you say, through my own watches, meeting hobbyists and buying and selling on, I would say I have had easily 100 Rolex's through my hands, plenty of which I have taken a loupe too, and I have never had one that I, nor anyone I have sold to, have found defective.
To back four Subs, I would say that maybe your expectations were a little high or unreasonable. |

The first one a chipped bezel could have been done in the shop they put them in and out every day so it could have fell over and hit another watch The second it had like a nylon bit on the glass the AD said he could get it out in doing so scratched the back terrible I know it will happen in time but not when you have only had it a day Third one was defiantly Rolex a mark on the dial. Four maybe the AD again taking a link out maybe he scratches the case you knows but I will have new one in the next few weeks I still love the watch awesome. ![]() ![]() |

Quality control....it really doesnt matter how much you pay for an item. That is why they give you a warranty.....would you buy anything if they told you "we build it perfect so there is no need for a warranty, so you dont need one!". Dont think so....
A friend of mine bought a new Ferrari, guess what had to take it back to get something fixed. I bought a recent TT Anniv. GMT II and there is a distortion in the cyclops date window....sh*t happens, I go get it fixed or changed and away we go. The world is imperfect ![]()
