Sorry that I didn't explain first.
Again its just a feeling ��
Not sure these reasons merit a thread title of "so weird!!!" with three exclamation points...a mouse riding on the back of a turtle, now that's so weird!!! Lol

2. If you saw something weird, how would you let him answer he's "fixing issues" without asking what issues to confirm whether thats the reason for the weird looks!?

3. Is this post intended to call out your brother in law's friend for wearing a fake Rolex while working for Rolex?

This thread is so weird i feel like it will become a legendary forum post, so I'm just posting my 2 cents to be a part of Forum history

Yeah, it’s one of those weird ceramic ones. I don’t like them much either.
I like the classic case shape and the less reflective ceramic bezel insert.
I even prefer the DD to the DD40.

Yes. A noisy rotor

The date always looks smaller when you have a noisy rotor because your ears will fool your eyes.

The date always looks smaller on an oversized watch.

Another fake Rolex maker coming on the forum to see if we'll bite at his latest prototype.

If it's true that this guy works at the Rolex lab, the clue noisy rotor...

I say this maybe is the new sub with the upgraded movement 3235. Yeah the 126610 sub, maybe rolex are having their employees wear the 1st lot and trial it.

I always like when someone starts off a thread by with my Wife’s...uncle’s...sister’s...husband’s...best friend’s dog’s...cousin’s owner works in the secret lab at Rolex, and showed me his secret Sub C that has been in production now for 10 years! Shhhhhh...it’s inside information! And here are some pics of how weird it is...not that you’ll be able to hear the loud rotor noise which I will also fail to mention!

In reality man, I love this post. Because it defies logic on so many basic levels...it stirs up the kind of emotions that make you want to pull your hair out and simply give up on man kind. Which, in itself is incredibly entertaining. So...please...I’m begging you, don’t be such a stranger, and post more frequently!

So a dude that works for Rolex wears a fake Rolex? This dude is your sister's husband's friend. I'm so confused. I'll go back to sleep now.

This is the new Rolex prototype watch. It's been camouflage with a zebra stripes.

I can't attest to the color of the bezel as that could easily be explained by lighting. Regarding the small date; there were a lot of threads regarding this phenomena. Everyone wanted one for a couple of nanoseconds; they were all the rage but the fad faded and most were returned for corrected magnification cyclops (and crystals). But seriously, lest I be misconstrued, Rolex had a problem with cyclops mag a couple of years ago. Many were delivered like that.

The Sub look like Noob China replica. I think we should close this thread and stop pointing fault in it.

The weird part is this is on the front page and it’s not a complaint about availability.
