Hi everyone,

I would like to ask you all how this could happened to the 12 oclock marker? Its is little bit out of border at right hand side..

I bought the watch from a private seller couple of months ago..At the beginning I did not care about it but now it disturbs me so much..Is it possible to fix it (put the marker back into the border)

Thatguy · 5 September 2013, 05:04 AM

Happens.. I'm sure they just fill the surrounds with lume. A loupe is not your friend.

kilyung · 5 September 2013, 05:05 AM

It looks like over applied lume to me and not the border. What's it look like at normal distance?

stockae92 · 5 September 2013, 05:06 AM

The same reason why I don't use loupe to look at my watches.

:p

hknslmz · 5 September 2013, 05:10 AM

It is quite visible at normal distance without a loupe..

RolexPete · 5 September 2013, 05:15 AM

You should have mentioned it to the seller right away for a refund or adjustment. No recourse in that department, and as long as it was seen in pictures prior to your purchase I think it is on you. Too bad...

hknslmz · 5 September 2013, 05:19 AM

You are right..Do you think a rolex service can fix it?

Of course.

lja1821 · 5 September 2013, 05:22 AM

Rolex will most likely not fix the existing dial just offer you to purchase a new one..

That is what I do not want..

CrownMe · 5 September 2013, 05:26 AM

I would leave it alone tbh. Not a big enough problem to fix inho. Just wait til it gets serviced next.

Just my 2cents

Unfortunately it is a tritium lume dial which rolex has discontinued you can always have it fixed by a certified watchmaker who can probably redo the luminova material for you.

kilyung · 5 September 2013, 05:27 AM

Send it to Rik. He can fix it.

Good advice

CrownMe · 5 September 2013, 05:30 AM

Leave it alone....it will be easyier to identify if its ever stolen lol

cop414 · 5 September 2013, 06:04 AM

That sucks, it is noticeable without the loupe, that's the test in my opinion, send Rik a PM and see what he says. Hopefully it will be an easy fix, let us know.

this would drive me nuts as well - get it fixed.

Annan · 5 September 2013, 08:09 AM

Yep...that would bother me too, especially if I could see it even without a loupe. I have a white dial EXPII and your picture made me take a closer look at my dial. Fortunately all looks well. Good luck.

Certainly not a QC pass....
