I didn't get any 'paper' warranty with my new Rolex pirchase. Also I mentioned in a post yesterday that I recently purchased a new rolex here in Baltimore with quite a few scratches
on the clasp of the bracelet. The AD polished 'most' of them out, but a few
tiny ones remain. the consensue of TRF group replys seemed to be to live with the scratches as they woule inevetiably occur anyway.

I was somewhat suprised by the response and expected to be advised to reutrn the watch for a new braclet, as I have seen advised in the group for a scratch in a crown, for example.

My thinking on this is along the lines of the hypothetical of having purchased a pair of eye new eyeglasses, or anything for that matter, brand new, with a warranty, with scrtches. Surely, I would return it for a replacement, not a repair. I would think this would apply regarding a Rolex, a few more dollars than my eyeglasses.

Now for the paranoid part. This scracth issue, (why would a brand new Rolex,
especially from the factory, (it was special order, supposedly), be delivered with no paper warranty and scratches? Could I be being misled or ripped off by a AD?
Does this happen? EVER??

Thanks. I gotta go. Got to get to the AD for my return??
And it' time for my thorazine!!
