It is a Rolex Quality Assurance issue, not the watch owner being too weeniek, let . aS FOR THOSAE WHO SAY SUCK IT UP, ITS NOT YOURE WATCH SO YOU REALY DONT HAVE A SAY. i WOULD WAGER MOST OF YOU WOULD SEND IT BACK IF IT WERE YOURS . DARN KEYboard is sticking again (not shouting).

Send it back let rolex do their thing and return it fixed.

"flowery", ya gotta realize that there is a percentage "of the lot" that will have passed thru QC with such flaws being overlooked, after all, itsa Human doing the QCg right !

It was discussed before and the guy said the AD's watch technician was able to correct it.

Mine is also a bit off also but I am not bothered by it. I noticed that maybe my coronet is a 1mm off at 12 minute marker but my center digit serial number ( i mean the capital X of MxxXxxx) is spot on at 6 minute marker. So I am guessing the assembler has either to align the coronet top or the serial number bottom (numbers have different size e.g 1 or 0) causing the RHB sometimes not in perfect alignment. Just my to 2cents.

so, we should check the ff. before we buy( a new thread for this?):

1. RHB coronet should align
2. No speck inside the face
3. Lume is evenly coated
4. dials are perfectly glued and spaced
5. crown closed at 3 o'clock position
6. clasp and easy link are in perfect shape.
7. 24 hand should align every hour marker
8. date should change at exactly 12MN.
9. No scratches
10. cyclop is center
and more

Since rehaut is part of the case, I wonder if dial is the one that's misaligned. In that case it should be a quick fix for Rolex.

I think we all suffer from OCD here, mainly cause for most of us Rolex didn't come easy. I'm pretty sure celebrities and CEOs never bother looking at these details - for them Rolex is just a one of many status symbols they've acquired.

On my Sub date for example, date is not centered in the date window. It sits a little lower than it should and it bugs the hell out of me. But in reality it's so minor I might bother bringing it up to RCS just before 2 years run out. I'm too was wondering how in the world the mighty Rolex could've missed such a blatant defect!

Ha ha - good luck with that. I want to see the face of AD when you ask for all samples of the model you want to buy only to turn down all of them. And forget about any discount!
The only things I checked for when I bought mine was: coronet on the crystal to align with 6 o'clock marker, scratches and second hand line up with markers (which is non issue for Rolex because of sweeping second hand). That's how I missed the date position. But on the other hand, I did turn down one sample at a dealer because coronet wasn't aligned which obviously does the same to cyclop over the date window.
Can't catch them all :D

Sorry, but I can't stop laughing. It's not uncommon for a high end swiss watch to not be perfect. There is no such thing as perfect in this world. Adam and Eve made sure of that back when they ate the forbidden fruit.

that happens when a Rolex gets produced on a Friday...

My crown Crown is nearly upside down, who cares?
It is what makes it mine, along with any dings or scratches.
I want a crown that seals the watch to 1220m, I don't care how it gets the job done.
