If I'm honest, I can't really sympathize with you. Be happy you have a gold Rolex.

I'm going to advocate that the OP just sell the watch and STFU at this point... Beyond that I don't see you gaining much sympathy here.

My guideline on these sorts of threads is that if I have nothing useful to add or if I'm at all tempted to get snarky, I just say nothing. If the OP is asking for opinions, it is possible to provide them without being rude.
The OP thought he got something less than what he wanted, after expending quite a bit of effort to try to ensure he got what he wanted. What he wanted might have been difficult to obtain or may strike some as being unreasonable. Fine. If that is what folks want to say, then just say it and leave it at that. Folks can disagree and still be polite; it seems like such sort of discourse is more and more a lost art. |

Rolex pumps out a million watches a year, so i doubt they're just pumping out blank cases and wait for a lonely AD to request a movement put in for a gold sub. i think its more realistic that the watch sat at Rolex and was shipped to your AD when you placed the order. warranty doesn't start until papers are dated so in effect, the manufacture date is irrelevant. |

To proof anything official we want to see pictures of certificates, signatures, letters from Rolex, anything relevant, Hans holding your Gold Sub etc...

Wait guys, don't you remember yesterday he said he needed to charge his camera battery? His charger is probably where all the certificates, signatures, and the picture of Hans holding his gold watch is......

The way I see it is this - As long as the watch was never owned to the point where it'd be considered used .. I.E traded in, ETC.. It is a brand new watch. Just because it's a 1993 model doesn't make it a non new watch as long as it's been in a warehouse and/or the AD's display case. I don't see anywhere in your posts that you specifically asked the AD the year the watch was manufactured. Also, it doesn't appear that the store you bought it from is even open anymore .. it must not have been the most upstanding place to begin with. I've seen plenty of jewlery stores etc that have an "Rolex Authorized Dealer sign" in the window or within the place... I mean you've been wearing it for at least a decade without complaints and now you want some sort of compensation.. I have a deep suspicion of this whole story from start to finish.
What is your true motive to get to the bottom of this .. you've presented an issue to people who range from Newbies to Aficionados .. our opinions all vary and some may be a more rough than others. I think you should let it go and just move the hell on already.. As others have said.. text is only going so far.. present some photos for those with knowedge to make a final judgement in this situation |

It all sounds like he's trying to sell a 1992 serial watch for a 2002 serial money..

this has been real and all, but I am out of here on this one.
i have taken all a man of my limited patience can take. i do wish the OP will find happiness and contentment with this issue.
