Guys, I need some help. Some of you may have read my post last week about my new Yacht-Master but last night I killed it.

I showered with it on and now the stickers are peeling off. I thought these watches were supposed to be tough? I guess Rolex aren't what they used to be. Can I get it repaired under warranty?

Send it back for a full service, it should be Ok.

Shaky · 5 November 2016, 09:31 PM

I had the same problem. It's definitely a QA issue.

Take it back to the AD, they agreed to replace mine straight away.

z80 · 5 November 2016, 09:32 PM

Nice.

I wasn't allowed to keep the stickers on. The AD insisted they be removed from mine as per a Rolex HQ mandate.

Super glue or araldite will probably stick them back. make sure the watch is dried first. Tumble dryer is quite good for that.

haha, time to get the stickers off

Have you tried fully winding it?

cdmorenot · 5 November 2016, 09:44 PM

They forgot the loctite

Looks the silver plating is coming right off!

Rolex quality isn't what it used to be. :-(

I would file an immediate claim with Jewelers Mutual.

Easy fix! Some scotch tape and you're got to go!

Looks like flaking skin. Just massage it with moisturiser.

Javier2.0t · 5 November 2016, 10:39 PM

Just fully wind it and leave it crown side down for 3 days.

Tony64 · 5 November 2016, 10:46 PM

If your watch is wet then the warranty is voided, sorry.

brandrea · 5 November 2016, 10:46 PM

You wore it a week with stickers still on?

Alpino · 5 November 2016, 11:22 PM

This is a discontinued model. No chance to have it repaired ...

cop414 · 5 November 2016, 11:30 PM

Laser weld and repolish, should be good to go!

Mick P · 5 November 2016, 11:42 PM

Tony

May I congratulate you for having the sheer mind bending courage to take your watch in the shower. That puts you in the top 10% of the tough guys here.

We need more here like you.

Regards

Mick

That courage was more than negated by keeping the stickers on lol

That's why they have warranties

maximus1 · 5 November 2016, 11:48 PM

Sounds like you might have a Fake Rolex with counterfeit stickers. I would take it to the RSC and have it checked out.

guy369 · 5 November 2016, 11:51 PM

That's what you get for getting your Rolex wet

the0thrdude · 5 November 2016, 11:55 PM

oh no! not the stickers!!

AK797 · 6 November 2016, 12:31 AM

You know those stickers are valuable to unscrupulous D500 flippers so well done drowning them, Tony!
