Long story short, have been lurking here more than creating threads, but I do occasionally like to make fun of useless threads, and some people might consider this one (karma).

I dropped by my ad yesterday, my watch class on my 126300 DJ 41 seemed a bit off. When putting bracelet on and closing it, didn’t hear the ‘click’ anymore, but it still felt secure. Once on the wrist, part of the clasp seemed to bulge up (hard to describe, wish I had taken a pic).

Told that to the salesperson, who said it’s normal… I insisted, he said he would check it out and maybe a clean would do. Comes back 5 min later and says ‘you are right something is wrong”.

Watch is now being sent to rsc to investigate. 6 weeks I was told. A bit annoying for just a bracelet issue… maybe I should’ve kept the watch head? Would they have agreed?
Anyways, now for the wait. I seriously hope it goes under warranty, the watch is barely 2 years old and while it’s worn everyday, never dropped.

I used to make fun of the old tin bracelets on the 5 refs, but again karma hits back. I never had an issue in 10+ years of 5ref bracelet…

Will post updates!

see you in 6 weeks lol and probably won’t have much to share haha.

It's best to send the watch off sometimes because they can get funny with warranty etc.
Hopefully you'll have it back in no time!!

Good luck getting it sorted OP

I’ve not heard of many 6 digit clasps with this problem, but it must have something to do with the beak and hook closure.

Those old tin claps did have their advantages in some ways.

Interesting. I would speculate that the clasp has been damaged in some way. Rolex will fix it if minor, if not you will get a new clasp. Still a pain. Hope the six weeks move quickly.

Thanks guys! Will let know! Getting a new clasp would be sweet as it was full of scratches… although even with a new clasp I’ll get those scratches in a few days.
I wear my watches ! … maybe time to get the 16600 out of the banksafe, tin bracelet we will meet again… :D
