Is that imperfection?
Hello,

I just bought my first Sea Dweller from Rolex Dealer yesterday. However the red line finish doesn’t look good.

I don’t know… it’s kind of like an eye test… “this one or this one”

Enjoy your watch

Welcome to the forum.

How is the time keeping performance on your new watch?

I was doing a research. It should have an extension link for the diving suit. I don’t have it. I just bought it yesterday.

Text looks fine to me.

As far as the extension goes, is it possible they removed it when sizing and forgot to give it to you? I removed the extension from mine as it extends the clasp and I'll never have a need for it.

Hope you track down the extension! Enjoy it, it's a great one!

Extension link was removed in March this year.

A picture of your clasp and connecting links would help to see what you’re looking at. If I remember correctly it’s actually inside the clasp isn’t it?

The Sea Dweller no longer comes with the divers extension link. Mine did, but I removed it as it wears much better.

The text looks fine. It’s glossy and a bit raised, so lighting plays a factor.

The below pic is nice and clear, but sometimes it appears as yours does. Don’t sweat it.

Try to go back to Mayors and tell them, if they don't do anything about it, ask local RSC.

Unacceptable! Use your warranty. Rolex needs to record these imperfections and failures so they can improve and so it can be traced back to the hack that approved it for the public.

The Red is applied over White so that it can be better seen. It isn't unusual to see some white, or unusual for the red to fade later and more white color show through.
