Rather than editorialize and comment... I'll just let the post speak for itself..

Taken off one of the FB Rolex chat forums...

That’s pretty funny.

pearson1995 · 22 August 2022, 04:18 AM

Well they obviously really love the Rolex brand and did a lot of research prior to their purchase..

thesharkfactor · 22 August 2022, 04:24 AM

He just wanted a Rolex.

Laostuh · 22 August 2022, 04:24 AM

The definition of buying the hype.

omar-rye · 22 August 2022, 04:30 AM

must be a 32** movement issue

Harry-57 · 22 August 2022, 04:29 AM

Hilarious.

Still, at least they wound it and set the time. Apparently some people don't even bother to do that.

Tim Plains · 22 August 2022, 04:45 AM

Maybe he should get them to lock down the bezel while he's at it because they're not supposed to move...

If this is a true story it is extremely funny.

You know, I do too.

Jeez

Good, maybe now he thinks Rolex’s are trash. One less hype chaser

I’m sure he’ll still use the gmt function as much as 90% of gmt owners.

RBradleigh · 22 August 2022, 05:15 AM

I’m impressed if he actually set the 3rd hand to track “home”

why not help a brother out? share the knowledge!

TswaneNguni · 22 August 2022, 05:30 AM

He should take the grey watch to an AD and explain the problem to them.

Because sharing with them the knowledge that they're an idiot, even though demonstrably true, does seem a bit like kicking someone when they're down. I'd rather not.

Bluside · 22 August 2022, 06:38 AM

Needs to ask his AD to change the battery.

Why take it to an AD when one can just pry off the back and change it themself.

In all honesty, though, i think OP's post is a joke.

Filipão · 22 August 2022, 05:32 AM

I've been having this issue since 1973 and no AD or RSC could help me.

Bummer.

Cronus251 · 22 August 2022, 05:32 AM

I want to see the comments he got from that post!

bobernet · 22 August 2022, 07:12 AM

No one uses that extra hand anyway. Just ignore it til the next scheduled service. As a plus, he's wearing it, and didn’t ask how much the price should go up.
