It's back after a touch-up

A little while ago, I had experienced a wobble on the rotor of my Milgauss. Never had I experience any rotor noise by the Rolex brand before, but this was the case. I know other brands that I have owned such as Patek, Omega, and AP have this wobble noise.

I took it in mid May and received a call the day after saying there were issues with the rotor, more specifically components being loose and would never a service. They offered they would do an overhaul and include a light touch up on the watch from the daily beating this watch has received.

Fast forward to 3 weeks (amazingly fast compared to Patek/AP) and I am an hour into the RSC opening and excited to see how the watch has turned out. I am speechless and sometimes wonder how they can magically turn my case/bracelet and most importantly the smooth bezel into practically a 'brand new' watch! When I spoke to them over the phone, they said they would not touch up the bezel and I clearly remember there was a slight dent and scratches around it. However, when I received it. The whole entire watch looked exactly the same way I walked out of the AD when I purchased it.

I am not sure if I am taking this chance to praise the RSC, but I've never had anything but good experiences with the RSC *knock on wood* and praise their level of service, the magic the technicians did, along with the efficiency as I have always received my watches back within 1 month.

Just wanted to share with you all some pictures of how stunning this watch looks! I've been wearing my Patek for the past 3 months or so, but now I'm back to the Milgauss. The tinted crystal at a slight angle is just gorgeous. The PCL's that I miss so much after wearing the rubber band on the Aquanaut, and the easy-link extension for the hot summer days which we are facing now. There is a reason why this watch is not an entry level one even though it's just a simple 3 hander without a date. The level of detail of the z-blue dial, the green crystal, the lightning seconds hand, the PCL bracelet, etc... I remember watching some Youtube videos where they mentioned that the models that Rolex decides to put the PCL bracelets on, are models that are not entry level in their catalogue.

Such a funky watch that can be matched with my orange t-shirt and blue navy shorts. Definitely not the 'one watch only' model but always a great one to have in the staple.

I am very tempted by the z-blue. It's got such character and color. My alma mater colors are blue and orange, and my initials are MG, so that's not exactly helping. Dangit, Rolex!
