Need Help Understanding RSC

[adzman808]

Hi Guys,

Some very, very knowledgeable on here, so I was hoping to get an insight on what might be happening whilst my watch is at the RSC.

I physically took my 114060 to St James London get the bezel triangle aligned with the 12 indicator as it was slightly out.

RSC confirmed it was out & that they'd rectify this under warranty :-)

It was agreed that once the work was complete they'd send the watch back, rather than me make a long trip back to London.

Expecting it back by now, I called them today.

My watch is currently in Kent (the main UK RSC location)

It's been held for "testing"

What testing? I asked

Waterproofing and maybe time keeping, came the answer

But you haven't taken it apart - you've taken the bezel off

"We like to test the watches that come in & we need it for at least another week" was the answer [note: they've already had it over 2 weeks and the original estimate was 1 week]

I'm no watchmaker.... but I know full well that a run on the timing machine & a pressure check is a very short piece of work

I also know my watch is running well within CSOC & I doubt it leaks being under 1 year old

So what's going on here??

Have they found a problem that they're rectifying?

Have they created a problem that they're rectifying?

Do RSC really keep every watch in for 2+ weeks of timing & pressure testing??

Thanks in advance
