Hello and good day,

got my first Sub ever and removed the bracelet for putting it on a nice Nato strap.

After that I found a small round mark over a lug hole (second photo).

In this forum I found a similar photo of a mark at another users Sub.

Is this normal and a mark/stamp by Rolex because it is the same location?

Or was this done by removing the spring bar? I cannot imagine that a small springbar has so much force to dent this hole. Normally I see only superficial scratches from the spring bar.

I never saw something like that on other watches. I know this will not hurt the watch but I am interested what this is.

Even under that extreme magnification have difficulty seeing that miniscule mark inside lug on my phone, could be from spring-bar change or simply down to normal bracelet friction wear.

Ok seems to be from releasing the springbar to fast.
Have now more of them. Need more practice but luckely the visible lugs are scratch free.

Ok understood. It is not from Rolex a mark or so. It seems to be from releasing the springbar to fast. Have now more of them 😄
