I have owned now 6 Rolex watches. Had to send one back, and another the Sub LV I had, had a problem with the Bezel (kept sliding, instead of clicking - and that was before I tinkered with it and swapped inserts) but I sold the LV for the same price I paid for it.

When you pay $5000 or more for a watch you expect 100% quality. Rolex needs to carefully inspect every watch before shipping out, that is not too much to ask. For the small amount of members on this forum, and the number of defects encountered by Forum members, not keeping stats, but seems pretty high to me. I read seveal other Watch forums, with other brands of watches such as Omega, UN, GP, Panerai, etc.. yet I hardly ever see a post on a factory defective watch. Makes you wonder.
