Anything especially unique about Rolex factory engraving?

Might be a rare piece...

Nope. Just last name on case back. My wife worked at AD at the time so warranty also show RUSA as AD....direct purchase from Rolex.

Whoops.

I was told I would get the next Sky Dweller they got in.

I am tempted to call tomorrow to ask if they can have Rolex replace the case back.

Showcall · 18 April 2019, 05:00 PM

If you want it? take it now for a discount and then order the case back

jackcarls0n · 18 April 2019, 05:13 PM

Google the name and you'll know who it is. If he or she is from your area than AD is the culprit;)

BTW Rolex engraves watches out of factory for some important people. Maybe that was a chance to get one of a kind Rolex.

Was it Roger Federer's?

Seaborn · 18 April 2019, 08:57 PM

VERY sketchy...

AD is suspect.

If the AD wasn’t up front about the engraving, I’d ask for the next one or walk. That sounds like a pretty shady trick to me.

TswaneNguni · 18 April 2019, 09:50 PM

Buy a new Rolex from a AD and its engraved ..I wont accept it.Not even a black SkyD.

DoctorA · 18 April 2019, 09:56 PM

1- how come they gave you the watch with stickers still on?
2- how come rolex sends an engraved watch as “new?
3- how come you believe it wasn’t the AD who engraved it?

4,5,6,7...... how come no pictures yet?

Rolex has engraved casebacks for decades, all you have to do is order it that way.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is somebody who is now unwrapping their birthday gift only to find that the engraving they ordered is missing.

What exactly was wrong with this watch.

Pballkm21 · 19 April 2019, 01:27 AM

How would you get a watch with stickers on from an AD as they are required to remove them?

I guess Rolex is desperate for stock. Looks like they took a return and put it back out as new without doing a proper inspection. Of course a watch, once bought, should NEVER be resold as brand new. Somebody had it engraved, decided they didn't want it after all, replaced the stickers and told the AD "I never even wore it."

subprimero · 19 April 2019, 04:19 AM

Very odd!

RUSA would have organised the engraving rather than Rolex SA.

enjoythemusic · 19 April 2019, 04:35 AM

Simple mistake by ????

Am sure the dealer will have Rolex install a new back and then you're all set. Easy peasy :)
