Advice please on a possible heat stain / mark.

Hi Guys / Gals,

Long time lurker here on TRF, enjoy my daily fix with great info and all things Rolex.

A little back story here first. Approx 3 weeks ago I called up Toronto RSC and mentioned that my fairly new Sub ND had aquired some minor flea bite dings on the opposite crown side, just on the lower edge.

This happened months ago due to my own carelessness, has bugged me ever since. To my releif the young lady at the RSC explained that I would be welcome to bring the watch in for a complimentary buff / touch up on the area affected.

Being the OCD kind of guy that I am, I was thrilled to hear this.

Brought the watch in , waited 40 minutes and voila , my watch appeared with those annoying dings removed ... again I was a happy camper.

On the drive home I noticed a very small dark area perhaps only 2 mm across, around the buffed area. This dark area ( mark) can only be viewed from a certain angle and in all honesty if you werent as eagle eyed you may never even notice it was there. Problem is I know its there ... lol.

So heres my dilema. RSC solved one problem for me but created a new one ( although minor ). After doing some research on here I have come to the conclusion that perhaps this a heat mark from letting the buffer sit to long in one place causing a heat build up.

I called RSC today and they said bring it in we will look at it and try to remedy the issue.

Question I have is would you just live with it and not risk further issues or get it re buffed by RSC and hope they can resolve this minor flaw.

Appreciate all advice.
