I just got back from Rolex where they were kind enough to work on my watch to make it just a little more perrrrfect!
Can anyone spot the difference

the crystal looks like it sits a bit higher..but could be the angle...the left lug looks a little cleaned up..but again could be the lighting....the bracelet looks to fit close to the case...Im guessing a new set of spring bars to hold that bracelet a bit more snug and higher? maybe a quick polish? Im stumped.

All very close Justin but not quite right

The actually opened up the end-links so that the top of the end links looks more aligned with the top of the lugs. If you look in the first photo you can see the writing between the lugs just poking up above the end-link, well they fixed that so you can no longer see the writing anymore.

I guess your beater on that fabric will pass . Aussie $ is good now to buy, but not so good to sell You gotta take advantage when you can.

I can see the difference in the endlink.

Is it my eyes or is the brushed finish a bit rougher?

Now, about that bezel at '4'?

I also see that your avatars are losing the plot AGAIN.

Yeah, I need some flared trousers and a body shirt to go with the watch.

I think the first shot was in cloud cover and the last one was in the sun, so that may account for that visible difference.

That would be a collectors item.

The watch post that is.

So Jim, 318 - 9. How long can the tail wag.

All out for 332....Go Aussies.
