Sorry about title ,bit excited.
Picked up my new DSSD yesterday from AD in Wales, all was well till i noticed a "smudge" on the 55min marker , was told it was fresh from the box.
Asked to borrow an eyeglass from them and looked at it which caused much amusement.
After they checked also they agreed and swopped it for the only other they had in stock which was put away for a customer.
They will send it back to rolex today.
Had i not subscribed recently to this forum i would never of checked it that closely so thanks.
Pics enclosed , Great chef but terrible photographer so be kind.
Thank you .

Nice choice

Which AD did you get it from?

snow_rocks · 11 January 2010, 10:46 PM

Doing your own wrist shots is some what hard!

DSSD is a fantastic watch!

Psmith · 11 January 2010, 10:57 PM

Hi Nigel, congrats on the new DSSD

By smudge, do you mean that there was a mark on the lume? Well done for spotting it before you took that watch. I tried on a DSSD recently and the bezel was badly misaligned...

Cheers

I'll bet you check the time every 5 minutes! I would too!

I bought a small tripod just for that reason. Still a tad difficult to get a good macro close-up, but impossible without.

Excellent choice of wristwear. Enjoy !
