Check out a recent "For Sale"

listing of a 126610LN, the gaps between the bracelet and the lugs look sloppy at best.

My local AD said there are more QC problems than normal this year. He said they are a little disappointed with some of the dial finishes, bracelet gaps etc.

Rolex must’ve taken a chapter from Tesla’s way of QC.

Rolex has nominated a new head of QC in Geneva. He’s named David Goodenough.

I've heard Rolex will close all AD's and now only sell their watches at GAP.

Maybe this is the new norm now. Can you imagine assembling a watch with a face mask, face shield, gloves.

I didn’t know your were allowed to flip on this site! Never even looked, thought it was for pre-owed watches that were worn.
