As I had posted last week, on Friday I picked up my new watch, a WG Panda Daytona. I was pleased with it until something really weird happened.
The Bezel and the Cristal just fell off. And I mean literally fell, without any smashs. I contacted the salesman and he readily said he would trade it for another one, but I decided to get something different, that I will post here as soon as it arrives.

Have you guys ever heard of something like this? My watch dismantled without any reason.

Here are a couple of pictures I sent him

landroverking · 9 August 2016, 12:04 AM

Never seen or heard of this before. Bezel yes, but both no.

Danny83 · 9 August 2016, 12:09 AM

OMG, I wonder what happened to it. Any diagrams on what had to happen to allow it to fall off.

travisb · 9 August 2016, 10:24 PM

Crazy. At least they're taking care of it for you.
Congrats on whatever replaces it!

ptxl · 9 August 2016, 12:16 AM

you won the jackpot.

not easy to let this happen with your watch

douglasf13 · 9 August 2016, 12:18 AM

Yikes, I'm sorry that happened to you. Maybe the watch is staging a protest for the new ceramic bezel?

cwieb · 9 August 2016, 01:38 AM

Did you have it in water at any time prior to the occurrence? Hoping that water did not leak into the movement...

That's right - OP did you skip your annual pressure check? That could be it.

(Just kidding - I hope it gets worked out, I'd be pretty ticked off myself)

Chuckled a little.

WOW!! Gorilla glue to the rescue.....

WAK4 · 9 August 2016, 01:44 AM

Whoa...was it new, from an AD?

Have never heard of that happening before. At least you are being taken care of; getting a new watch is probably not a bad idea since you'll always have some fear in your mind of it happening again.

Looking forward to seeing the new selection

Investr · 9 August 2016, 01:44 AM

I think you are being kinda picky......Its only a $35k watch.....;)

I would say it was impossible from the factory but have seen it happen when the dial was changed by a non Rolex watchmaker.

Tvall13 · 9 August 2016, 03:45 AM
