Returning an online purchase often isn't an option if you've removed the stickers/tags, and sized it, which of course you need to do to properly wear the watch and decide if you like it.

The cows are lying down so it's going to rain ... eventually.

For what it's worth the only reason I haven't sold on SC up until now is the 250 (from memory?) post requirement. I don't want to spam the forum with useless "Nice watch!" posts, and I guess I just...

On all my manual wind watches, the crown will stop when the watch is fully wound. On all my automatic watches, the crown never stops turning, even though the watch is obviously fully wound. I believe...

I have the replacement watch now (brand new with all stickers), and it performs really well on the wrist and on the timegrapher, so I'm happy with the end result (especially as the AD gave me a...

Because they don’t like it? Or at least, they don’t like the way digital photos portray the colours.

It’s an oft repeated internet fact ... isn’t that enough proof?

(On a more serious note - I suspect the truth is that the DJ overall is the best selling model line. I highly doubt the ladies...

Thanks. I don’t have details yet (and may never have), but the AD have confirmed they found problems after their 48 hour test, and that I will therefore be getting a new replacement watch.

Thanks...

I really don’t get this - plenty of jubilee bracelet watches have end links which are flush with the lugs, and it looks fine. I consider what Rolex have done here a very unusual design decision......

I don’t think this is correct - I own the original, and have seen the steel version, and they looked identical to me?

Thanks Paul - easy bits first: I’m definitely fully winding it, and the power reserve is at least 24 hours (when I was wearing it all the time I was winding it at 8am each day and all was good),...

I’m not part of any cliques here so don’t know much history - what I do know is that “Der Amf”s posts added zero value to my thread, and were in danger of killing it. Thanks to everybody else for...

A good summary! I am disappointed, but it’s all relative ... first world problems and all that. The watch is, as of a few minutes ago, back with the AD. I will update on what happens next.

(If...

Blue (hence BLRO, and because it is blue).

Not damaged, just worn it for a few weeks, picking up the inevitable small marks in that time - most people wouldn't even notice them, but the retailer wouldn't be able to sell the watch as new any...

It might be:

Just for the sake of argument, because it's fun on a Friday - if your watch had the same issue mine has, but you'd worn it for 29 days, and, for example, done some strap changes, creating minor wear...

Interesting, I didn't know "click and collect" was covered. Perhaps it's because often in those situations you just collect the box and go? The point really of the DSR is to give you the option to...

This post from the OP is what I was referring to, were they told the wrong thing then?

No worries (and no apology needed!), it's an interesting enough tangent, and perhaps somebody will see the technical part of the question eventually anyway (and if they don't, I'll still be able to...

It's not quite as simple as that of course - satisfactory quality that a "reasonable" person would be happy with, and all that jazz. I'm very happy with the watch, it keeps easily good enough time on...

See the posts further up - that’s the charge for a watch up to ten years old. A day older than that and it’s 800!

Eye opening this thread - 800 quid for a not-very-old Sub is crazy, that's Royal Oak service money (and AP often get, unfairly in my view, criticised for their "exorbitant" prices!).

She's a keeper.

I think you may be the first person to utter those words with regards to this watch!
