Would this bother you - or do I have OCD?

[clenz]

I have been enjoying my new GMTIIC for a few weeks now, but as the date changed to 7, I noticed a small speck on the date wheel. Not very obvious, but I can tell that it is there. Of course I inspected the watch in detail when I purchased it, but never thought to go through the dates.

Would this bother you to the extent that would cause you to bring it in? I tried to capture it in a photo. The speck next to the 7 is not from the cyclops or the camera, it is a blemish on the date wheel directly. Has anyone seen this before?

Other than this, everything has been great. I am still struggling to get the bracelet just right. Removed another link and have the clasp at the last setting, but it is too tight with the half-link, and a little loose without. Oh well, maybe I am OCD?? At last the accuracy has been within 2-3 secs over 7 days.

Whaddya think?

bring it in

I didn't even have to read your post to know what this was about. I just had to look at the picture and my "OCD" kicked in

Honestly, this would drive me MAD. You payed around $7,000 (as of the new price increase) for your GMT and should get a near-perfect watch for that.

[MrRetep]

I would take in as well. I would want my watch to be perfect for the prices I pay for them.

Never seen it before... but it would drive me crazy at least once a month.

Exactly!!! i would go crazy too

It's not a question of "bother" to me.

There is something foreign in your watch. You don't know what it is or how it got there.

Could it get into the movement?

It needs to be removed.

Have it taken care of.

no it's not OCD. it's a little defect that should not be there! Bring it in.

Sorry but what has that got to do with the question asked? Did you read the post?

OP, take it in and get that beauty sorted out It should not be there and may make things worse in the long run.

Your English was very poor in your first post, I didn't have a clue what you were trying to say the first time I read it... instead of getting your panties in a bunch, proof read your own posts to see if they make sense first

No Rolex purchased from an authorised Rolex dealer can possibly be a fake!!

Gosh, I'm thinking about checking every and each one of my watch's date today!
I found a speck of dust on the second hand of my Pepsi GMT. It was sent back to Rolex. It looked like there was a spot of rust or oxidation (but it shouldn't because of it is made of WG 18K). It turned out to be dust. A slip in quality control.

[sdwtchlvr]

If it's going to bother you, definitely take it in.

[Chris B]

It'll aggravate the hell out of you as time passes, take it back & let them sort it.


PS

WIS' don't get OCD, we get CDO, its exactly the same but in alphabetical order

[n9zez]

Return to Sender!

I would take it in for service as well.

[swatty]

That would drive me nuts , take it back

[TheVTCGuy]

If I noticed a speck on the date of my Daytona I'd be.... oh.... wait... never mind...

[Gasoil4ever]

Take it back ! No doubt about this !

[C. Davidson]

Do you have OCD? Yes
Should you bring it in? Yes, because you have OCD.

Having a watchmaker remove that speck of dust is pretty work intensive. The watchmaker will basically have to cherry pick the whole movement out, remove the date wheel, clean off speck, and then put everything back together again. This whole process could get more specks of dust into the movement. It also has the potential to put a little "wear" on the watch.

In the end, its your watch and there is nothing wrong with expecting perfection on a $7000 timepiece.

[cmr]

if mine had that problem i would defiantly have it fixed. at this price point there is no excuse for that. my seiko monsters don't have anything like that so my gmt2c certainly shouldn't don't you think?

[Singslinger]

No question - you have to take it in.

[zidaneong]

i will be very upset about it, taken in account of my stupid Tag Heur sports automatic also have a fine line dust in the case.

[Quicksilver]

Without doubt you should take it in.

Its your heard earned cash and Rolex have promised you perfection and failed to deliver.

I am sure they will put it right for you.
