SDDS Lemon?
Picked up a SDDS on Sept. 3 from auth dealer.
At which time he and I both noticed a minor "inclusion" in the lume triangle at 12" without the use of any magnification- no problem for me so far. As it appears the application of such lume is thicker and not as evenly applied. Have been wearing watch daily since- however by looking at pictures others have posted i see that the inner ring - due to the verbiage is not lined up correctly and therefore lacks overall symetry (it appears the "orginal gas escape valve" which in all SDDS photos lines up perfectly between the "s" of gas and the "e" of escape above the 12'oclock position is visably shifted to the left lining up the "e" dead on above the 12- this may sound trivial but once those excess words around the dial shift- it throws the watches aesthetics off. Finally i have noticed that over the two weeks the date function changes later every night- now rolling the date 7+minutes post midnight. dont know if this is normal- as up until now i have only collected daytonas and non date subs. i figure for 9k+tax it should look right and work right so my question is - is this watch approaching lemon status? disclaimer (i have been collecting rolex for last 14 years so perhaps i have finally gone over the edge) enjoy your weekend- as i just joined this impressive forum about a week ago hello to you all many thanks brian |
