Can anyone tell me what the dot is next to the 40 on the bezel? I've been googling and cannot find any answers.

Yes it is a real rolex, it was just serviced not long ago.

Looks like you banged your bezel

Big Tex Rolex · 21 April 2022, 03:13 AM

I’m not sure what it is, but it should not be there.

Does it feel like a chip, or something stuck on the bezel ?

TimeLord2 · 21 April 2022, 03:25 AM

Take a close up of the dot rather than the whole watch on your wrist at higher resolution. It is a very small dot and a very small picture.

Meyrin · 21 April 2022, 03:28 AM

There are no dots on a Sub bezel...never have been, never are! It must be a mark or chip that looks exactly like a dot. It wouldn't bother me, personally I'd just ignore it, but if it annoys you you could maybe take it back to where it was serviced and see what they say.

brandrea · 21 April 2022, 03:32 AM

Chipped?

A close up picture would help

sniper sight

KathleenL · 21 April 2022, 03:47 AM

Was the dot there before it was serviced? If not, was the dot there when you got it back after servicing? If not, how soon after servicing did the dot appear?

Kevin of Larchmont · 21 April 2022, 06:58 AM

That dot is a mistake.

WatchGuy1966 · 21 April 2022, 08:41 AM

Someone was trying to make it a DON but missed

Looks like you’ve marked the bezel extremely cheap to replace if you want to.

Ssunnylee24 · 21 April 2022, 10:03 AM

that's Dot Below 40.
Like Speedmaster's dot over 90.

A new dot.com

MILGAUSS88 · 21 April 2022, 11:40 AM

My guess is that it is just a foreign object on the bezel. Looks too perfectly round to be damage to me.

Welcome! The dot is just a dot.

But when they serviced it did they recommend anything about the yellow metal parts fading?

Carguy87 · 21 April 2022, 03:11 PM

Welcome to the forum! Can you take more close ups?

28mm · 21 April 2022, 03:26 PM

omar-rye · 21 April 2022, 04:04 PM

A sprinkle of toothpaste?

Was it serviced by Rolex? A couple of other things do look off to me... to my knowledge the TT Sub never came with a stainless crown. It also appears that there are holes of some kind on the sides of the bracelet, like for screws, but no Rolex (except old rivet models, that predate the TT Sub) has anything like that aside from removable links near the clasp.

While it could be a stain or chip, it also seems possible that someone at some point installed an aftermarket bezel insert if the original one got damaged.

First post, 'Yes it is a real rolex'.

Sure.

Priceless thread!
Sorry we can’t help you.
Posts 22 and 24 make the most sense so far.

It doesn't bother me at all, I was just wondering. I have never seen it before. And it is not a chip or any damage. It's almost like it was made to be there.

Thanks!

I would apply the fingernail test. If it comes off, that’s the fix!
