You will get it. When they release new models people will forget about that watch and your ad will call you for it.

Official 126610LV Owners Cub.......

Just joined the club on Thursday! Any opinions on a clear “error” on my dial? The equal sign between 1000 and 300m has a clear extra line or blemish. Take a look and let me know if it is a “live with it” situation or if it’s worth chatting with my AD?

Yep! Went back today. It was a fun 4 days :(! Turns out it was a scratch on the dial. Has to go back to Rolex to get dial completely replaced. The manager, the SA, and the watch maker have never seen that before on a new Rolex, so I guess i’m the lucky winner!

How do you like the wider bracelet? Is it that noticeable?

Bro! You threw away the one-off "approximately equal" dial, no!!!! 1000ft = 304m, i.e., 1000ft ≅ 300m. I mean sure, their font execution left a little something to be desired, but man, this one LV was $50k all day ;)

Sorry to joke OP, has to be a bummer to give up a new watch! But at least you know you have your name on one and it's just a matter of time until it's back and 100%.

Haha it’s all good. I wish they would have misspelled something and then I definitely would have kept it. No need for a 401k at that point! All you can do is laugh at the situation though. The scratch in the dial made me not even want to wear it because I knew it was there, so it’s for the best.

I will rejoin this club shortly! Hold your loved 126610LV’s a little more closely tonight.... it could have happened to anyone! Haha

Wider bracelet is 1000% more balanced in my eyes. Everything looks bigger in pictures...(ahem) but in reality it’s a huge improvement and is a great complement to the new geometry. Sold all previous subs minus 2 in favor of 2020 and beyond model equivalents.

Has anyone noticed the difference in the seconds hand pinion/pivot cap between the LV? For example, post #1 and post #2 have a noticeably different seconds hand pinion/pivot cap compared to post #3,#8,#11. It's a completely different shape. Post #3,#8,#11 is more like a ring, where post #1 and post #2 on this thread is more like an actual cap.
