The fool and his Rolex....
Very sad looking watch - Rolex 1803 which has had the bezel removed by an idiot! The fool used a pocket knife to remove the bezel and try and fit a diamond bezel he bought from ebay....
Absolute disaster... also the watch has water damage inside - back seal was missing! |

Sorry about the scratches, but an RSC service should polish that out.
Looking at the bright side, you have a very beautiful plexi crystal!

If he used a sharper knife, he probably would have learned his lesson.

This is the reason why I'd rather pay an experienced hand to do his for me.

No no no! Can we send a TRF "reeducation squad" around to the previous owner's house to show him the error of his ways?

It's an easy fix for the right person. It's sad that it happened in the first place, but this is relatively easy repair.

He's not fit to own a Rolex.. I'm angry seeing this kind of abuse to a brand I worship.
