Hi Rolex Fans ;oD
Paula here in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Just had to return a factory new Rolex GMT-Master II #116713LN Steel & Gold. In short, the two Easy-Link bars were somewhat twisted, causing the bracelet to be angled as it exited the clasp. The angling occurs when the Easy-Link was snapped closed, and did not show up with the link opened so as to enlarge the bracelet. The rest of the watch was beautiful. After the return, I shopped around different Rolex Dealers and found the same problem on the five new watches of that model that I looked at. Some worse than others. On two other model numbers with that same Oyster Clasp, the Easy-Link and bracelet was perfectly straight. So it's a factory defect! Another #116713LN has been ordered, factory direct, and hopefully, it will be with a straight Easy-Link. Or, if the twisting is not too bad, I may just decide to live with it and purchase the watch. To fix the problem, the Easy-Link can be easily replaced, but the Rolex store said Rolex won't send a part like that for a new watch. I used a jewelers headband magnifier to examine the watches. I hope Rolex reads this and corrects the problem. Sorry if I am such a pain.
