hard to imagine, maybe was cross threaded, it would have felt tight yet only screwed in a fraction of a turn? would have to be really shoddy mechanic to not notice.

Here's the conversation:

ROLEX ServiceTech: "That one is ready for final inspection."

ROLEX QC Tech: "What?"

ROLEX ServiceTech: "Its ready" (pointing to tray with timepiece which screwback isnt threaded to seal)

ROLEX QC Tech: "I did that one yesterday, wait, is this the one you were talking about earlier?" (confused)

ROLEX ServiceTech: "Yes, thats it, I thought you boxed it and send it to the mailroom already"

ROLEX QC Tech: (Places it in shipping box) "I will now"...
