My AD in short hills nj would not let me exchange my explorer 3 days later. Absolutely no returns he said once sized and warranty card swiped. I was so pissed. Took a loss and traded plus cash for GMT two tone from one of our TRF trusted sellers.

And new to the forum, he may not be checking back having already gotten his answer. It could be all he needed from the forum. Sometimes it takes almost 10 posts before the addiction sets in.

Yeah, romans don't have hands with lume and dials get swapped all the time. Should be a free 20 minute fix from the dealer or at least not too big a deal elsewhere.
Please don't tell me what to do.

As always Larry is right on the money and that's why I tried to get an answer.

Not sure why you're getting so aggressive, but I agree - chill. Maybe he left his web browser on the page - it doesn't mean he's sitting there staring at the forum.

I would have kept it... in 50 years someone would have paid $100 million US dollars for the one of kind Rolex error.

I mean, at least thats how it is with vintage Rolex watches currently. All you have to do is give it a stupid nickname like "fat lady" or "white ghost" in this case, maybe the "two handed blind man" datejust! one of a kind! $100K or best offer!

if this thread is still happening, I'd like to show you guys this one. I was concerned, looks like no lume on the hands. I am thinking of buying it and wondered if it was right or not... described as '97...
