When you pay 6K for a watch it better be perfect. Take it to a RSC . I'm sure they will help you.

I agree with you 100%..IMO Rolex = perfection. Some people even here on TRF don't agree.Especially since its a preventable imperfection.

I don't think I could sleep till it was removed! Sorry you have to deal with this, but there are worst things that could be wrong. Gorgeous watch by the way,hair on the dial and all!

Actsulb · 16 November 2011, 12:33 PM

That would bug me, mine had a similar issue when I bought it and had it taken fixed.

Mary Mary quite contrary Shave that P--- oh so hairy. " Dice Man"

BNA/LION · 16 November 2011, 01:48 PM

You need Nair Hair Remover. Just spray it on and rinse it off. No more hair!

oneillba · 16 November 2011, 02:30 PM

This story is quite "hair raising".

Dr. Robert · 16 November 2011, 02:33 PM

If RSC can't help....perhaps Supercuts?

humvee · 16 November 2011, 08:31 PM

that's pretty disgusting-- it is like having hair in your food. Yuck.
Take it to the RSC. I hope it is still under warranty.

The pics are hard to see but the hair is just above the minute hand..its an "S" shaped hair.,..

Thanks

How long have you had this watch has watch ever been opened for any problems like regulation.Although there is a very tiny bit of hair or what ever on dial these things do happen even with Rolex.When the bare uncased movements are sent for testing then returned to be finally matched to a case its always possible a bit of dust etc could be on dial crystal when watch is assembled.It should not happen but on the odd occasion it does but a very simple fix.If AD has a in-house watchmaker about 1 hours work or less to remove.If you send it to the RSC expect it will be a few weeks before its returned.

xjeeunitx · 16 November 2011, 09:19 PM

Tom, your AD or RSC can take care of this within an hour! Good luck.

Mosco · 16 November 2011, 11:47 PM

Should be an easy fix mate. Just means the watch has been opened before and some careless watchmaker didn't pay close enough attention.

Pix · 16 November 2011, 11:51 PM

No need to go to RSC, a trip down to the local laser hair removal service is all it needs.

zeroshiki · 16 November 2011, 11:57 PM

don't worry, it should be covered under warranty. i hope RSC sorts this one out in a quick manner for you.

the lint inside the dial reminds me once i was going to buy a bnib gmt2c too, when inspecting the watch before paying, i saw a lint much like the OP posted, different position. in short i canceled the purchase.

Puffy · 16 November 2011, 11:57 PM

novan3 · 18 November 2011, 02:17 AM

A part from the hairspring may've came loose.

Fifth Ave Rolex Man · 18 November 2011, 02:20 AM

Just a little off the dial please!

STEELINOX · 18 November 2011, 02:25 AM

Can we stop referring to "it" as "hair," itsa "fibre" !

threemonkeys · 18 November 2011, 03:14 AM

We're all teasing you (in a fun way), but I would also take it in to be removed. It would annoy the heck out of me.

id have to agree this watch was probably opened somewhere between final assembly and when it got to you. but who knows. send it in! does remind me of my last meal at Frisches however.....

novae500 · 18 November 2011, 04:42 AM

let us know how rolex will handle this microfiber flaw in the case!

gwalker · 18 November 2011, 10:00 AM

Well when you make nearly 1 million watches every year there will be minor issues. Take it to your AD and they should be able to fix it in 10 min. Unless you are right next to a RSC I think thats overkill for removing a small lint fiber.
