This is EXACTLY what I just bought and it’s absolutely amazing. Hands down best purchase I’ve made in a long time.

Following up! Went over to the AD with no issues and they took care of it. So nice now that it fits.

Got to try on a few things for fun and had them add me to a couple Yachtmaster lists.

What's odd is you need to give a kidney to get a sports Rolex from an AD.
A kidney is now only enough for the preferred waiting list.

I have had both my watches that I bought grey but unworn to be sized at an AD in Los Angeles.

I was not asked to see the card or make any payment even though clearly I did not purchase them there. I was told sizing is complimentary for the life of the watch!

I gifted milgaus to someone at work a few years back, when he took it to an AD to get it sized they refused to touch it unless he had the warranty card. Luckily for him he had the card in his car, he went and got it and they treated him properly after that. He said up until he produced the card, they treated him like a thief ( it was brand new) but became instantly nice and professional once he showed them the matching card.

Must be an AD burn out thing. I dont really know.

Go elsewhere or do it yourself. That's ridiculous.

Do you folks not change the oil in your vehicles?
I'll add or remove a link myself because it's easy and not that much of a hassle. But I prefer to pay someone else to change my oil, because even back in the day when I was doing it myself, I derived zero pleasure from that task. Plus it's a pain in the ass.

Haha definitely not that. Tried on YT rose on flex, YT I rhodium, and a DJ 41 fluted blue.

Was actually a bit disappointed in the DJ. Thought I’d like it more. REALLY want the flex YT though.

They can just look at your serial number to find out the original buyer

RSC, maybe. But an AD only if they originally sold it.

Usually they don’t ask you for your warranty card for resizing but they might have been a little bit stingy, it’s not too much to worry about
