Crooked Rehauts on Submariners?

[JP(Canada)]

Have to admit, having owned probably 10 or so with the rehault engraving, I can't say I've ever looked at whether or not it was aligned.

I sometimes wonder why some buy Rolex watches if they are going to cause this much grief.

Great post

I agree with this. But if I can see it with the naked eye I do expect it to be fixed. Regardless of the price of a watch.

If it has to be magnified for me to see then I don't carry about. But Rolex has always bragged about their qc. So for them to let something like that go is a little disheartening.

Just make sure Tapatalk isn't doing it's usual 'crashing every session' and you'll be fine.

Seriously, anyone else experiencing frequent lock-ups?
I like it well enough but the crashes are annoying. I have a new Samsung Galaxy 5 - not high end but decent enough.

If anyone wants me to use a wrench on their rehaut, I'm game

My Tapatalk has never locked up on my iPhone, fwiw. There was one day it didn't show photos but that was universal.

Yeah every now and then it gives me an error

But in general, it works pretty good

Is a slightly misaligned rehaut, dial, movement, a sign the watch is fake? No.

Probably because there is not enough information to fill that many pages, or the question itself is well....................

I fixed that problem.
And all rehaut laser engraving - I only buy 5-digit models now.

More important than the rehaut is:
how's the condition
hold old
boxes/papers
problems with movement

Only ocd wis worry about rehauts and crown alignments.

I can barely READ my watch at arms length without my readers these days... What bugs me more is the bezel out of alignment but I've learned to get over such things.

Wait, how will you know if your rehauts [sic] are crooked if they aren't laser engraved?

I'd certainly rather it wasn't there but wow. You must really hate it.
