Just goes to show......Rolex isn't some magical infallible brand some people think it is. I'm glad the AD is making things right for you OP, buy a lottery ticket while you're at it IMO.

Sorry I hope you get it fixed ASAP.

No worry...I'm sure your AD will take good care of you by getting you a new one..

That's right - OP did you skip your annual pressure check? That could be it.

(Just kidding - I hope it gets worked out, I'd be pretty ticked off myself)

Chuckled a little.

OP said he bought this Z serial used. I would check the warranty card cuz something doesn't feel right. Over polished lugs and a displaced bezel points to tampering.

Can't really comment on this, too many unknowns however I have a JLC master compressor that was purchased new from AD(about3yrs old)and was really cold outside and 20 min after being inside I noticed my crystal had popped off. I guess weird things happen

Missed that. Definitely sounds like shady service job in between. Be interested to see how this pans out.

Agree. I thought the lugs looked off myself, but hard to tell as I currently don't own a daytona to compare.

RichardF · 9 August 2016, 08:25 PM

I would question the authenticity of this watch. The way the bezel and crystal are fitted to the the case of the watch they just don't fall off. Now I can say I have seen a bezel on a SS/18kt sub get knocked off when the owner hit the edge of the bezel by accident in a hard downward motion just right and it popped upward and off the case. But the crystal remained due to the way they are attached to the lip of the case.

OMG, I wonder what happened to it. Any diagrams on what had to happen to allow it to fall off.

travisb · 9 August 2016, 10:24 PM

Crazy. At least they're taking care of it for you.
Congrats on whatever replaces it!

DO you see all the proper hallmarks in respective locations? I hope this isn't SS masked as a PM.

Did you get it here on TRF or AD?

could you take a few pics of the underside of the bezel and of various angles of the watch

fishingbear · 10 August 2016, 02:31 AM

Wow, that's a first time every seeing that!

No, look at post #6 in this thread. Definitely a WG case, the SS case is different near the pushers.

ragingcao · 10 August 2016, 10:29 PM

I too would question the authenticity of this watch.
OP, saw in another thread you sold this or returned for another watch? Well done

Yes, it was a WG Daytona. I contacted the seller and he said he would readily send me another one. However, I said I didnt want any daytona anymore. I chose this one, arrived yesterday!

I cannot believe what must have gone thru your head when that happened. I would have immediately kicked the dog, cried, run around the house screaming and then just plain sulked for the rest of my life!

Good to see you are a little more adult than me by taking pix and sharing on here

fungo · 7 October 2016, 09:55 PM

If the seller decided to sell the wg bezel part, im willing to buy provided that it is still in like new condition

nick c · 7 October 2016, 10:03 PM
